If it is a Web based application, Spring's Application Context's XML can be loaded at startup by making an entry in web.xml, a ContextLoaderListener is defined that loads the root application context of this web app at startup, - by default from /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml. The root context is the parent of all servlet-specific contexts. This means that its beans are automatically available in these child contexts, both for Spring getBean(name) calls and (external) bean references.
