DispatchServlet and multiple xml configuration files

[templth]

Hello,

I want to Spring MVC and other layers ( services, dao ). How can I separate configurations of presentation elements, business services element and dao/persistence elements into several xml configuration files? and how can I configure the DispatchServlet to use these xml files?
Thanks for your help,
Thierry

In your web.xml you will have to specify a location for the contexts you're using (except for the XXX-servlet.xml, which will contain your web-related beans). Also, you'll have to add a ContextLoaderListener or ContextLoaderServlet. Using the two you can spread your beans across as many files as you like .

Have a look at section 3.15 (Creating an ApplicationContext...) of the reference manual, you will find more info there.
