public abstract class AbstractContextLoader extends Object implements SmartContextLoader
Abstract application context loader that provides a basis for all concrete implementations of the ContextLoader SPI. Provides a Template Method based approach for processing resource locations.

As of Spring 3.1, AbstractContextLoader also provides a basis for all concrete implementations of the SmartContextLoader SPI. For backwards compatibility with the ContextLoader SPI, processContextConfiguration(ContextConfigurationAttributes) delegates to processLocations(Class, String...).
