Simple Spring application demonstrating two ways of initializing the Web Application Context. Either by implementing the WebApplicationInitializer interface and registering an DispatcherServlet or by implementing the AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer. The second approach is in a separate branch named: DispatcherServletInitializer.

This example also shows the two contexts created, one is the rootContext in which we register beans like services, DAOs etc (RootContextConfiguration)and the other is the servlet context in which we register our Controllers (ServletContextConfiguration)

run the command: mvn clean package tomcat7:run
