accessing beans, declared in spring-config.xml

[omkar patkar]

Hello Guys,

I am using Struts 1.2.8 and spring2.0. I declare my beans in the spring-config.xml file which is loaded into the memory when the server is started. Now if in action class i want to access a bean already instantiated in the memory when the xml file was loaded. Can any one tell me which class in spring i can use for this purpose ?

Many thanks in advance.

hi Omkar,

a small example from the book Pro Spring (chapter 19)

 private ProductManager productManager;
    
    public void setServlet(ActionServlet actionServlet) {
        super.setServlet(actionServlet);
        ServletContext servletContext = actionServlet.getServletContext();
        WebApplicationContext wac = 
            WebApplicationContextUtils.
                getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
        productManager = (ProductManager)wac.getBean("productManager");
    }

You won't even need this if you declare your Struts Actions as Spring Beans
