Using ApplicationContext in Spring MVC.

applicationcontext, spring, spring-mvc

Solution

You have two ways. In web.xml define this.

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>yourapp</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

And to your WEB-INF folder add yourapp-servlet.xml with your beans and mvc configuration.

Other way is. In web.xml define this.

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

And to your WEB-INF add applicationContext.xml with your beans.

You can also combine these approaches.

Problem

I have a spring.xml file where in all the bean definitions are listed, where i have listed all the dependencies using beans, specified messageSource, dataSource etc. Also i have a class ApplicationContext class where iam using the context to get all the beans. The code is :: ``` package models; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; public class ApplicationContextClass { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub AbstractApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring.xml"); context.registerShutdownHook(); ATTModel attmodel = (ATTModel) context.getBean("att"); //ProjectModel project = (ProjectModel)context.getBean("project"); //project.call1(); attmodel.call(); System.out.println(context.getMessage("insertiondone",null, "Default greeting",null)); } } ``` and i have Dao class where an applicationContext is used to access JDBCtemplate related bean. I have to develop a web application now using spring MVC and i need to use this applicationContext. How can i use these applicationContext classes in SpringMVC. I knw i need to use applicationcontextlisteners but where to write them ? Thanks..
