/**
 * Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition
 * files from the class path. Mainly useful for test harnesses,
 * but also for application contexts embedded within JARs.
 *
 * <p>Treats resource paths as class path resources, when using
 * ApplicationContext.getResource. Only supports full classpath resource
 * names that include the package path, like "mypackage/myresource.dat".
 *
 * <p>The config location defaults can be overridden via setConfigLocations,
 * respectively via the "contextConfigLocation" parameters of ContextLoader and
 * FrameworkServlet. Config locations can either denote concrete files like
 * "/mypackage/context.xml" or Ant-style patterns like "/mypackage/*-context.xml"
 * (see 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.
