You have two different contextx defined ( spring-filter-config. Xml and spring-main-config. Xml ), but you should probably only have one.
Context:annotation-driven is only defined in spring-main-config. Xml and not in spring-filter-config. Xml so any beans defined in spring-filter-config.
Xml won't be autowired.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
