I am using NetBeans IDE. I am learning Spring Framework and I am facing an error that "bean named 'student' is not available", although I have used given a name to my bean in config.xml.

Below is the error I am getting:
"Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'student' available"

Below is the file structure of my project,

Below is my code. Kindly take a look at it and let me know where I am making a mistake.

**config.xml**

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <bean class="com.springcore.firstproject.Student" name="student">
        <property name="studentId">
            <value>3738</value>
        </property>
        <property name="studentName">
            <value>Owais Ul Haq</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
  
</beans>
```

**Student.java**
```
package com.springcore.firstproject;

public class Student {

    private int studentId;
    private String studentName;

    public Student() {
        super();
    }

    public Student(int studentId, String studentName) {
        this.studentId = studentId;
        this.studentName = studentName;
    }

    public int getStudentId() {
        return studentId;
    }

    public void setStudentId(int studentId) {
        this.studentId = studentId;
    }

    public String getStudentName() {
        return studentName;
    }

    public void setStudentName(String studentName) {
        this.studentName = studentName;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Student{" + "studentId=" + studentId + ", studentName=" + studentName + '}';
    }

}
```

**App.java**

```
package com.springcore.firstproject;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:config.xml");
        Student std = (Student) context.getBean("student");
        System.out.println(std.toString());
    }
}
```
