AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader()
Concrete implementation of AbstractGenericWebContextLoader that loads bean definitions from annotated classes.
See the Javadoc for org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration for a definition of annotated class.
Note: AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader supports annotated classes rather than the String-based resource locations defined by the legacy org.springframework.test.context.ContextLoader API. Thus, although AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader extends AbstractGenericWebContextLoader, AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader does not support any String-based methods defined by org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractContextLoader or AbstractGenericWebContextLoader. Consequently, AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader should chiefly be considered a org.springframework.test.context.SmartContextLoader rather than a org.springframework.test.context.ContextLoader.
