title: Java Project: Failed to load ApplicationContext
body: <p>I have a Java Project in which I am writing a simple JUNIT test case.  I have copied the applicatinoContext.xml file into the root java source directory.  I've tried it with some of the recommended settings I have read of here on StackOverflow but still get the same error.  Is this error happening due to my project being a java project and NOT a web project, or does that even matter?  I'm not sure where im going wrong.  </p>
