Spring ApplicationContext - Resource leak: 'context' is never closed

Question

In a spring MVC application, I initialize a variable in one of the service classes using the following approach:

ApplicationContext context = 
         new C

try this. you need to apply cast to close applicationcontext.

   ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = null;
      try {
         ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(...);
            [...]
             } finally {
              if (ctx != null)
                  ((AbstractApplicationContext) ctx).close();       
      }
