public class ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

extends FileSystemXmlApplicationContext

Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition files from the class path. Mainly useful for test harnesses, but also for application contexts embedded within JARs.

Note: Generally treats (file) paths as class path resources, when using ApplicationContext.getResource. Only supports full classpath resource names that include the package path, like "mypackage/myresource.dat".
