Issue while running web-app

[pritul98]

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
IOException parsing XML document from URL [file:/JDESURVEY/xml/external/service-context.xml];

nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: \JDESURVEY\xml\external\service-context.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

getting this issue for all xml configuration with file:/ prefix
I already tried giving my local computer's path and I am getting error that "System can not open specified xml file"

This is because the file path is hardcoded in the file.

I had this same problem. If you watch the installation video closely, you need to extract JUST THE JDESURVEY folder into your C drive. If you extract the zip to your C drive you've got a directory structure like C:/JDeSurvey-1.0.0/JDESURVEY and since the paths to those files are hard-coded, the webapp won't load.
