applicationContext.xml is not loading when it is inside a jar file

Question

I have maven module project with 4 modules core, web, config and war. I have all the spring configuration file inside config module /resources/spring/*.xml.

When I am added the project in eclipse jboss-eap 6.1 server it is working fine(with un archived format) and after maven build the xml file is moved to conf.jar file, but when I build it and deploy it in jboss-eap it is throwing

IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [spring/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [spring/applicationContext.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Below is my web.xml file.
