ContextLoader 加载xml

Web.xml 中加载spring 中的内容

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

通过 org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader 来加载

/**
	 * Initialize Spring's web application context for the given servlet context,
	 * according to the "{@link #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM contextClass}" and
	 * "{@link #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM contextConfigLocation}" context-params.
	 * @param servletContext current servlet context
	 * @return the new WebApplicationContext
	 * @throws IllegalStateException if there is already a root application context present
	 * @throws BeansException if the context failed to initialize
	 * @see #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM
	 * @see #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM
