ImportResource(vararg value: String, locations: Array<String>, reader: KClass<out BeanDefinitionReader>)
Indicates one or more resources containing bean definitions to import.
Like Import, this annotation provides functionality similar to the <import/> element in Spring XML. It is typically used when designing Configuration classes to be bootstrapped by an AnnotationConfigApplicationContext, but where some XML functionality such as namespaces is still necessary.
By default, arguments to the #value attribute will be processed using a org.springframework.beans.factory.groovy.GroovyBeanDefinitionReader if ending in ".groovy"; otherwise, an org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader will be used to parse Spring <beans/> XML files. Optionally, the #reader attribute may be declared, allowing the user to choose a custom BeanDefinitionReader implementation.
