Current Spring Implementation in Tuscany does not seem to support using
<import/> tag in the application context XML file.
In Spring <import/> element is generally used to load bean definitions from
another file (or files) as shown below.
<beans>
<import resource="services.xml"/>
<import resource="resources/messageSource.xml"/>
<import resource="/resources/themeSource.xml"/>
<bean id="bean1" class="..."/>
<bean id="bean2" class="..."/>
</beans>
I have raised a JIRA, TUSCANY-2585 to take care of this.
