The correct format to define multiple spring resources spring xml context files using Spring 3 @ImportResource:

@Configuration  
@ImportResource( { "spring-context1.xml", "spring-context2.xml" } ) 

Answer 3

You need to add the classpath before the file name

@ImportResource(value = { 
    "classpath:file1.xml",
    "classpath:file2.xml"
    })

Answer 4

Just adding for future reference if anyone is using this in a groovy project.

In groovy the correct syntax uses [ ] square brackets . The curly braces will lead to compilation errors. Please find the example below.

@Configuration  
@ImportResource( [ "spring-context1.xml", "spring-context2.xml" ] )
