servlet 3.0 - Spring web fragments and java config -

i created simple spring-mvc web app (one controller), , simple spring jar (containing 1 controller).

i utilized servlet 3 spec using web fragments, came across that, if using spring xml configuration (as per example spring-mvc project created in sts), controller in jar not being called or hit when entered url, if used java config worked fine.

and java config did import xml , set scanning... i'm curious why was, got ideas?

java config:

@enablewebmvc @configuration @componentscan(basepackages = { "com.webapp.test" }) @importresource({"classpath:webapp-context.xml"}) public class testconfig  extends webmvcconfigureradapter {  }
