Spring security, moving from eclipse to IntelliJ Ultimate 14 - spring-mvc

Question

Trying to do Java Web development with Spring in IntelliJ when I encounter an error. The steps I took are mostly similar to how I would do it in eclipse. The difference is, it would work in eclipse, while it produces a not found exception in InteeliJ.
Here is the web.xml
<web-app version="2.4"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
classpath:com/springapp/config/security-config.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
Here is the security-config.xml (Spring bean config file)
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"

http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security.xsd">
<security:http use-expressions="true">
<security:form-login></security:form-login>
</security:http>
</beans>
And lastly, the dreaded error when I try to run in server

I'm pretty sure its in the correct directory. I have tried placing another spring bean config file in there (which is not security related config) and it works.

Answer 1

Solved my own problem. Spring config files (and any non java files) in IntelliJ it seems should not be placed anywhere marked as source root (blue folder). Instead, they should be placed somewhere marked as resources.
