public class XmlServletWebServerApplicationContext extends ServletWebServerApplicationContext
ServletWebServerApplicationContext which takes its configuration from XML documents, understood by an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.

Note: In case of multiple config locations, later bean definitions will override ones defined in earlier loaded files. This can be leveraged to deliberately override certain bean definitions through an extra XML file.
