I have a Struts/Spring application.

I'm writing a new Struts plugin like

class Myplugin implements Plugin {
         UserService service;
........
}

Now i need to initialize my service in this plugin using Spring DI, but im unable to find a way to achieve this. Please help

Loading the application context

No matter which technique you use, you will need to use the Spring ContextLoaderPlugin to load the Spring application context for the Struts ActionServlet. Simply add the plug-in to your struts-config.xml file as you would any other plug-in, as shown here:

  
<plug-in className=
  "org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn">
    <set-property property=
      "contextConfigLocation" value="/WEB-INF/beans.xml"/>
 </plug-in>
