I am creating a Maven Spring project, which includes MVC, Data and Security. My Spring applicationContext-*.xml files are located at \\src\\main\\resources\\spring\\

Answer 1

Try with the relative path using *

  @ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath*:spring/applicationContext.xml",
"classpath*:spring/applicationContext-jpa.xml",
"classpath*:spring/applicationContext-security.xml" })

If not look if your xml are really on resources/spring/.

Finally try just on without location

 @ContextConfiguration({"classpath*:spring/applicationContext.xml"})

The other error that you´re showing is because you have this tag duplicated on applicationContext.xml and applicationContext-security.xml

 Duplicate <global-method-security>

Answer 2

I added the spring folder to the build path and, after clean&build, it worked.

Answer 3

Give the below

@ContextConfiguration(locations =  {"classpath*:/spring/test-context.xml"})

And in pom.xml give the following plugin:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.20.1</version>
<configuration>
    <additionalClasspathElements>
       <additionalClasspathElement>${basedir}/src/test/resources</additionalClasspathElement>
    </additionalClasspathElements>
</configuration>
