Loading Spring xml on SAP WAS 6.40

[asv]

I have the following file structure

/WEB-INF/spring/apllication-business.xml
/WEB-INF/spring/apllication-common.xml
/WEB-INF/spring/apllication-dao.xml

web.xml
---------

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

It does work on Tomcat, WebLogic but doesn't on SAP WAS

Exception:
-------------

Caused by: org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: I/O error parsing XML document for application context [Root WebApplicationContext]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring] cannot be resolved to URL because it does not exist

Did anybody solve the same problem?
