booking faces sample app; contextConfigLocation

[lumpynose]

Near the top of its web.xml file is

	<!-- The master configuration file for this Spring web application -->
	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>
			/WEB-INF/config/web-application-config.xml
		</param-value>
	</context-param>

Then further on down there is

	<!-- The front controller of this Spring Web application, responsible for handling all application requests -->
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
			<param-value></param-value>
		</init-param>
		<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

Question 1: I didn't realize that you could use init-param for Spring's contextConfigLocation within the servlet section. I've always seen contextConfigLocation set up via the context-param. If I were to specify the contextConfigLocation only within the servlet section does that mean I could have multiple Spring "containers" (if I had multiple servlet sections)? Does that work?

Question 2: What's the purpose of the booking-faces web.xml specifying nothing for contextConfigLocation within the servlet section?

Yes, I have the same question!!
