BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [applicationContext]

Question

I am trying to create my first Spring app. It is showing the following error:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [applicationContext]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [applicationContext] cannot be opened because it does not exist

GetterSetter.java

package com.spring1;

private String name;

public String getName()
{
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name)
{
    this.name=name;
}

public void displayInfo()
{
    System.out.println("hello "+name);
}

FirstSpring1.java

package com.spring1;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    GetterSetter gt=new GetterSetter();
    gt.setName("Google");
    gt.displayInfo();

    Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("applicationContext");
    BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(resource);
    GetterSetter gt1 = (GetterSetter)factory.getBean("name1");
    gt1.displayInfo();
}

The XML file is in the src folder.

I edited the title to reflect the actual exception (the exception reported in the original title was simply LOG4J complaining about itself). — Autumn Skye

You should use applicationContext.xml instead of applicationContext. This is what exception says: FileNotFoundException: class path resource [applicationContext] cannot be opened because it does not exist. — Michał Ziober

Instead of:

Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("applicationContext");

Use:

Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("applicationContext.xml");
