/**
 * {@link org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext} implementation
 * which takes its configuration from XML documents, understood by an
 * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader}.
 * This is essentially the equivalent of
 * {@link org.springframework.context.support.AbstractXmlApplicationContext}
 * for a web environment.
 *
 * <p>By default, the configuration will be taken from "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml"
 * for the root context, and "/WEB-INF/test-servlet.xml" for a context with the namespace
 * "test-servlet" (like for a DispatcherServlet instance with the servlet-name "test").
 *
 * <p>The config location defaults can be overridden via the "contextConfigLocation"
 * context-param of {@link org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader} and servlet
 * init-param of {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet}. Config locations
 * can either denote concrete files like "/WEB-INF/context.xml" or Ant-style patterns
 * like "/WEB-INF/*-context.xml" (see {@link org.springframework.util.PathMatcher}
 * javadoc for pattern details).
 *
 * <p>Note: In case of multiple config locations, later bean definitions will
 * override ones defined in earlier loaded files. This can be leveraged to
 * deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra XML file.
 *
 * <p>For a WebApplicationContext that reads in a different bean definition format,
 * create an analogous subclass of {@link AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext}.</b>
 * Such a context implementation can be specified as "contextClass" context-param
 * for ContextLoader or "contextClass" init-param for FrameworkServlet.
