Java Spring @Scheduled tasks executing twice

Question

I have a simple test method here that is set to run every 5 seconds and it does, but looking at the System.out you can see it appears to be doing something odd.

Answer 1

    contextConfigLocation
    
         /WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml
         /WEB-INF/spring/security/spring-security.xml
         /WEB-INF/spring/mongo/mongo-config.xml
         /WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/spring-context.xml
    


    appServlet
    org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
    
        contextConfigLocation
        /WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/spring-context.xml
    
    1

That is my web.xml . So , you can see that "/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/spring-context.xml" is loaded twice (once in context-param , once in servlet -> init-param ).
