@AnnotationDrivenConfig not found

[dit]

Hello,

where can i find @AnnotationDrivenConfig. Perhaps i have to include some JARS?

hier is my maven:

<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
			<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
		</dependency>
		
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
			<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
		</dependency>
			
		<!-- SPRING_Test -->
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
			<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
			<scope>test</scope>
		</dependency>

There is no such annotation... So you will not find it anywhere...

there are a lot of tutorials using @AnnotationDrivenConfig but i will find it anywhere... ahmmm... ok....

That is t he old java-config project and that has been abondoned and incorporated (in a different and better form) in Spring itself. So basically those tutorials are garbage...

ok thanks for your reply.

im trying to configure my mvc project without XML. is it possible to replace <context:annotation-config/> by any Annotation.
I would like to dispense with servlet-context.xml and root-context.xml altogether, is it possible?

That is all explained in the reference guide (chapter 3 if I recall correctly)... Use the AnnotationConfig(Web)ApplicationContext and put your configuration in @Configuration annotated classes each bean is a method annotated with @Bean. (that is about it in a nutshell).

Shameless plug my book uses mostly java based configuration (we needed the xml part for Web Flow and Spring Security as those haven't picked up the new @Configuration style yet).
