Can't change contextConfigLocation

[blaise17]

Hi,
I'm trying to change the location of the applicationContext.xml file, or even the name of it, and pointing to it from the web.xml using contextConfigLocation, but I keep getting the same error: It first tries to read beans for the web application from the file I point to (/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext.xml) and then for each portlet it tries to read from the portlet's own context (eg /WEB-INF/basic-portlet.xml) and also the default location (/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml)... which it obviously can't find as it's not there... which gives me a FileNotFoundException and portlet death... what I can't figure out is why it's looking there when it has clearly read the web.xml that points to a different location... thoughts?
