IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [MiniApplicationConfig.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [MiniApplicationConfig.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
It is trying to load this file from the classpath and cannot find it.
Try specifying just "combined2.xml" instead of
"src/main/java/resources/combined2.xml" and make sure that
src/main/java/resources is on your classpath.
By the way, in Maven, the standard directory for resources
is src/main/resources, so I suggest you put this file there.
