Answer 1

To do this, I need to use my webapp config .xml files to inject the controller, however, all my configuration (and other associated files that the configs reference) are in the src/main/webapp directory

What are those files that you also need during unit tests exactly?

I do not want to have to copy my entire webapp in to my src/test/resources folder just for the purpose of testing - is there any other way to be able to access them?

No. If you want them to be on the classpath, put them either in src/main/resources or src/test/resources, files under src/main/webapp are not on the classpath because they're not supposed to.
