2. Workaround

Here's the correct wording.

<!--the path of the spring configuration file--><context-param><param-name>contextconfiglocation</param-name>< Param-value>classpath:springapplicationcontext.xml,                  Classpath:com/heilan/springbasebean/*.xml,            Classpath:com/heilan/springbean/*.xml                  </param-value></context-param>

Note 2 points

1) configuration file path don't write it wrong.

2) The few lines of code in the configuration file do not add comments.
