When your application configuration xml files are defined in your web.xml they do not need to be configured in the servlet container. When Tomcat reads the web.xml on applicaiton start up it will start the application context based on the config files supplied in web.xml.

See the section entitled "Convenient ApplicationContext instantiation for web applications" in the documentation.
