Specifying context dependencies... in the context.

[bmelloni]

I use contexts that reference beans specified in other contexts. For example, context A.xml uses a bean in B.xml.

If I were using a ClassPathXmlApplicationContext to get the context, I'd have to load them with:

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"A.xml", "B.xml"});

But it would be a lot cleaner to simply load them with:

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"A.xml"});

and have 'something' in A.xml that tells it to load B.xml from the classpath.

I know that 'something' must exist. What is it, and what is its syntax?

<import resource="B.xml" />

So simple and obvious... yet I've been looking for it for months.
