title: Trying to setup externalizing properties in spring
body: <p>I'm building my project with maven so according to maven way, config should be in <code>src/main/conf</code> , how can I say to my spring application context that that is where <code>jdbc.properties</code> is found? Here is example bean :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;
  &lt;property name="location" value="jdbc.properties" /&gt;
  &lt;/bean&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Spring assumens that this configuration is inside src/main/webapp/WEB-INF, I hope I've been clear if not I'll rephrase my question thank you</p>
