Answer 1

if you are putting in web-inf folder

<context-param>
  <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
  <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

if you are putting in src/resource folder

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath*:applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

one more thing if you get the error like the below link after doing modification.

the solution is given at end.

or you can do the following.

in struts.xml <constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />

Answer 2

Configure context-param in web.xml like below:

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value> /WEB-INF/application-context.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>

And put your application-context.xml in WEB-INF folder.
