“Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]”解決方案

問題表現：

如果不解決問題，將無法正常訪問項目

1.  
   HTTP Status 404 – Not Found
2.  
    
3.  
   Type Status Report

7.  
   Description The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.
8.  
   Apache Tomcat/8.5.34

問題描述：

最近學了Maven，並嘗試將以前的項目（springmvc+myabtis）重構成Maven項目，Maven項目推薦各種資源文件都放在src/java/resources目錄下，所以我自然把spring的配置文件（包括spring-mvc，spring-mybatis等配置都寫在一個文件中）applicationContext.xml文件也放在了resources目錄下，重構結束后，啟動Tomcat報錯：

注意一下，其實重點就一句話，即Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]，異常也很明顯，FileNotException，無法打開ServletContext的資源文件。下面再看一下web.xml的配置：

由於在沒用Maven之前，我的spring配置文件——applicationContext.xml是放在WEB-INF根目錄下的，在項目運行時都是正常的，重構成Maven項目之后，我的配置文件自然應該放在src下的resources文件夾下了，那么在web.xml中我自然將<init-param>中contextConfigLocation的參數值由WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml修改為classpath:applicationContext.xml了，那么啟動tomcat之后依然報錯，而且我們從報錯信息中可以看出容器依然是在WEB-INF下去找applicationContext.xml，很明顯這個文件的位置已經被我們改變了，而且我們也修改了web.xml的配置為何還要從這里去加載呢？原因是我們缺少另一個重要的配置。

解決辦法：

遇到問題盲目搜索往往不能迅速得到有效的解決方案，所以我們先從官方去尋找線索，看一看spring的官方文檔，在The Web的章節中可以發現這樣一段話：

 

簡單翻譯一下上圖標記的小段落：如果不特意指定參數名為contextConfigLoction的<context-parameter>元素，那么spring的ContextLoderListener監聽器就會在/WEB-INF/下去尋找並加載該目錄下的名為applicationContext.xml這個文件。So，我們應該在web.xml中添加<context-param>標簽並再次指定spring核心文件的位置：
 

1.  
   <context-param>
2.  
   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
3.  
   <param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
4.  
   </context-param>

這樣就OK了，注意這段配置盡量寫在靠前的位置，因為在tomcat啟動后web項目會先初始化上下文，我們這段配置正是指定了上下文配置的文件位置，在上下文初始化完成之后才應當繼續加載其余各種配置，而我們的springMVC的servlet僅僅是springMVC框架的相關配置，就好比struts2的配置一樣，項目整體還是由spring去管理的。下面是修改之后的web.xml配置文件：

1.  
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 最后再次啟動項目，運行正常，spring和springMVC均正常加載並初始化。之前在網上查的有人說修改路徑，加星號，又是少jar包，答案千奇百怪，然后都無法解決問題，總之這篇blog希望能對遇到這個異常的朋友有所幫助，The End。
