Issue

• Spring beans import from a descriptor loaded using a web context does not work with an exception.
• We are trying to port a JEE 6 application from Oracle WebLogic 12c to JBoss EAP 6 but does not deploy.
• When we try to run our application with beans:import with wildcard below, we got following Errors:

<beans:import resource="/test/*.xml" />
<beans:import resource="/test1/*.xml" />

• Is this a bug? without wildcard everything works fine.
