Location of ApplicationContext.xml and properties file in spring

Question

In my application I have placed the ApplicationContext xml file in src and the project is working fine.
Can we place the ApplicationContext.xml in

Answer 1

Yes you can.

If you put the files directly inside WEB-INF that should work.

If you want to put them in a folder called WEB-INF/conf you would need to change the properties location to refer to conf/LicenseSettings.properties
