I'm having troubles accessing properties files with Spring. Here is my arborescence :
WEB-INF
- application-Context.xml
- properties
-applicationPerperties.xml
-csvHeader.properties
Here is my import in the application-context.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd"
profile="dev, test, prod">
<import resource="properties/applicationProperties.xml" />
</beans>
Here is the import in applicationProperties.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">
<util:properties id="csvDictionnaryProperties" location="csvHeader.properties" />
</beans>
What I don't understand is the fact that Spring find applicationProperties.xml but doesn't find csvHeader.Properties. I tried moving this file to the root folder, adding classpath prefix and so, but I can't manage to make this work. I always get a FileNotFoundException
.
Here is the stacktrace :

As you can see, it seems that it searches csvHeader.properties in the / directory, but I can't understand why. I'm new to Spring, so I'm don't fully understand this all. Any ideas why this doesn't work ?
