Printable View
I'm doing somthing wrong here :
If I subclass ApplicationObjectSupport and then in the subclass to a getApplicationContext() call shouldnt I receive the ApplicationContext object ?
Doing this I get a null. Do I need to do anything in config to make sure that a constructor other than the default is called, because this is whats happening ?
TIA
Are yoiu sure this object is being created inside an ApplicationContext, and not a plain BeanFactory?
Im being dumb here then - is searchApplicationContext the only application context ? What about the others I define in the context param in the web.xml, or the view.xml I reference from the controller-servlet.xml file ?
(If I move the bean config from views.xml to searchApplicationContext, I get the app context ref as expected)
The context pointed to in web.xml is an ApplicationContext, yes. You'll have to clarify what you mean by searchApplicationContext. views.xml is I believe just a beanfactory, which is why you're getting the behaviour you describe...
