Installation Guidence

Hi,

I am new to spring and web services as well but need to use both. Got to know about this tool. I have both web servcies and spring basic app running on my machine but want to integrate them using this tool.

I downloaded the distribution and was going through the Install.txt everything went well except the line

4. Add the following line in your application context (WEB-INF/ in this case) and copy the axisConfig.xml to the relevant location

My question is what did it mean by application context the one defined in server.xml in tomcat or the one for spring.

Where do i have to place <import resource="axis2Config.xml"/> exactly?

I got the following error after placing axis2Config.xml in WEB-INF/ and then running the server.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException

: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]
