You are trying to get a reference to a file as a classpath resource but the path you have given is not a path of a file inside the classpath.

Instead of harcoding the full path to the file, use a path that is relative to the root source of the project. If src is the root source directory, use this:

Resource res = new ClassPathResource("/contructor/applicationContext.xml");

Because it is ClassPathResource I think contructor/applicationContext.xml is enough
