GenericXmlApplicationContext

open class GenericXmlApplicationContext : GenericApplicationContext

Convenient application context with built-in XML support. This is a flexible alternative to ClassPathXmlApplicationContext and FileSystemXmlApplicationContext, to be configured via setters, with an eventual #refresh() call activating the context.

In case of multiple configuration files, bean definitions in later files will override those defined in earlier files. This can be leveraged to intentionally override certain bean definitions via an extra configuration file appended to the list.
