Don't know the details, but `new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(...)` or
`new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(...)` would seem the way to go.

Specifying the location alone (likely) won't help you. You need
something that starts the engine that will try to read those sources --
i.e. the ApplicationContext.

On the other hand if you made your main app a spring-boot app, then you
could simply reference lib's config and be done with it.
