Spring 3 @ImportResource with multiple files

java, spring, spring-3

Solution

Try:

@Configuration  
@ImportResource( { "spring-context1.xml", "spring-context2.xml" } )  
public class ConfigClass { }

Problem

I'm trying to find the syntax for importing multiple spring xml context files using Spring 3 @ImportResource annotation. I have tried using comma to separate the filenames as illustrated below but that does not work: ``` @Configuration @ImportResource("spring-context1.xml", "spring-context2.xml") public class ConfigClass { } ``` The doc for @ImportResource says "Indicates one or more resources containing bean definitions to import." so I believe there should be a way to specify multiple context files. Surprisingly, I've not been able to find any example on Google
