Support relative and by-convention use of @ImportResource [SPR-6310]

[spring-projects-issues]

Chris Beams opened SPR-6310 and commented

Much like Spring's TestContext framework and its @ContextConfiguration annotation, processing @Configuration classes should support relative paths and loading resources by convention when using @ImportXml:

1. Relative paths:

package com.biz.app;
@Configuration
@ImportResource("Foo.xml")
public class AppConfig { ... }

It is assumed that Foo.xml resides in com.biz.app, the same package in which AppConfig is declared.

1. Import by convention:

package com.biz.app;
@Configuration
@ImportResource
public class AppConfig { ... }

It is assumed that classpath:/com/biz/app/AppConfig-context.xml exists.

See testImportXmlWithRelativePath() and testImportXmlByConvention(), which are both currently @Ignore'd in org.springframework.context.annotation.configuration.ImportXmlTests. See also TODO in ConfigurationClassBeanDefinitionReader.loadBeanDefinitionsFromXml()
