FileNotFoundException Classpath resource not found in spring

Question

I have code like this in Main java    AbstractApplicationContext context    new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext  spring-config xml      Until recently it was working  but I don t know why it started failing with the below exception      Exception in thread  main    org springframework beans factory BeanDefinitionStoreException    IOException parsing XML document from   class path resource    spring-config xml   nested exception   is java io FileNotFoundException    class path resource    spring-config xml  cannot be opened   because it does not exist   the spring-config xml is in src main resources folder   Actually I wanted to learn about the annotations   Postconstruct and  Predestroy  so I changed the build path to Jdk 1 6 from Jdk 1 5   Since then the problem started     Any clue why it is not working   NOTE  If any wants to see my project structure please follow this link http   code google com p javapracticeram source browse trunk SpringExample   EDIT

Looking at your classpath you exclude src main resources and src test resources        lt classpathentry excluding      kind  src  output  target classes  path  src main resources   gt       lt classpathentry excluding      kind  src  output  target test-classes  path  src test resources   gt    Is there a reason for it  Try not to exclude a classpath to spring-config xml

Two things worth pointing out    The scope of your spring-context dependency shouldn t be  runtime   but  compile   which is the default  so you can just remove the scope line  You should configure the compiler plugin to compile to at least java 1 5 to handle the annotations when building with Maven   Can also affect IDE settings  though Eclipse doesn t tend to care     lt build gt       lt plugins gt           lt plugin gt               lt artifactId gt maven-compiler-plugin lt  artifactId gt               lt configuration gt                   lt source gt 1 5 lt  source gt                   lt target gt 1 5 lt  target gt               lt  configuration gt           lt  plugin gt       lt  plugins gt   lt  build gt     After that  reconfiguring your project from Maven should fix it  I don t recall exactly how to do that in Eclipse  but you should find it if you right click the project node and poke around the menus

I was getting the same problem when running my project  On checking the files structure  I realised that Spring s xml file was inside the project s package  and  thus couldn t be found  I put it outside the package and it worked just fine

Check the contents of SpringExample target classes   Is spring-config xml there   If not  try manually removing the SpringExample target  directory  and force a rebuild with Project  Clean    in Eclipse

Best way to handle such error- Use Annotation   spring xml- lt context component-scan base-package com SpringCollection SpringCollection   gt   add annotation in that class for which you want to use Bean ID i am using class   First  -   Component   public class First    Changes In Main Class  -     ApplicationContext context                  new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext First class     use this

This is due to spring-config xml is not in classpath   Add complete path of spring-config xml to your classpath   Also write command you execute to run your project  You can check classpath in command
