Issue
I have a problem with understanding what actually is going on in my project with app context. I have created new part of project which use spring-mvc
there are RestConfig class
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "restService.com.websystique.springmvc.*")
public class RestConfig {
}
RestServlet class
@WebServlet(name = "PSC Rest Servlet", urlPatterns = "/rest/*", loadOnStartup = 1)
public class RestServlet extends DispatcherServlet {
public RestServlet() {
super(new GenericWebApplicationContext());
}
}
as you can see those classes are servlet and its config.
all work correctly
below web.xml whole my project
<?xml ...>
...another code
<context-param>
<param-name>contextClass</param-name>
<param-value>org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
com.psc.config.JpaConfig, com.psc.config.ServicesConfig, restService.com.websystique.springmvc.configuration.RestConfig
</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
...another code
</web-app>
I would like to know how my RestConfig context recognises servlet RestServlet (because everything works correctly). I've specified RestConfig in context-param, well than its file will be part of root context.
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
com.psc.config.JpaConfig, com.psc.config.ServicesConfig, restService.com.websystique.springmvc.configuration.RestConfig
</param-value>
</context-param>
But where is RestServlet context? If RestConfig is RestServlet context, why it is part of root context? Can servlet context be a part of root context? If yes, my controllers, services and etc will created two times?
If I specify servlet in web.xml, and not include RestConfig in init-param(context-param) for whole app, I will make good thing or it won't make any changes?
this is part of log in console

Solution
From what I understand of your code, you've specified that all beans should be retrieved through the context loader listener, which acts like a global context, from which all dispatcher servlets can retrieve beans.
Usually, a dispatcher servlet is backed by an XML context whose default file name is derived from the name you give the servlet in web.xml. If the dispatcher servlet is called dispatcher then the file name is dispatcher-servlet.xml. Since you're not declaring any specific context for PSC Rest Servlet, you're only benefitting from the top-level context.
As for the rest of your questions. There is only one definition of your beans at the moment. If you decide to split between a top-level context (application context provided by context loader listener) and o lower-level context accessible only to your dispatcher servlet, you should take care not to have 2 definitions of the same bean. One way to structure your contexts is to split them by themes and decide which are solely used by the web aspect of your app, which are for the database, which are cross-cutting concerns, like logging, monitoring or transactions... There is no single way to do it. You could have transactions, services and repositories in the application context, while things like marshallers, converters, controllers and the like stay on the dispatcher side.
