Tor,

Your solution doesn’t apply in this situation. The whole point is to be able to access the application context from a class that isn’t managed by Spring. You can’t ask Spring to inject dependencies into objects it doesn’t know anything about. ;)

I think I figured it out, I hadn’t added

contextConfigLocation
/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml

to my web.xml

In the code when I do
ApplicationContext ctx = AppContext.getApplicationContext();
ctx is null,

I have set lazy-init=false in applicationContext.xml

Hey guys,

I much easier way to get the spring application context from anywhere is to just have it autoinjected like this:

@Autowired
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

I used this in the validate method in my DTO bean associated with the form.
Unfortunely I coud not understand the standard way of getting the context:

ServletContext servletContext =this.getServletContext();
WebApplicationContext wac = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
The problem is thar I can’t get the this.getServletContext(); to compile…

In my method all I have is a ValidationContext:
public void validateEdicao(ValidationContext context).

So, using the solution posted in this article did work. Thank you.

You can use the WebApplicationContextUtils to get the loaded Spring context in every where you want in the ServletContext, follow this example:

ServletContext servletContext =this.getServletContext();

WebApplicationContext wac = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);

User user = (User)wac.getBean(”user”);

Thanks for that, Sigi - YMMD!

I was really lost getting out the spring application context. That helped me out.

See you,
