Any proxy servlet available in spring

[amitkhanna]

Hi

I have created a servlet

class MyServlet extends HttpServlet{

	public void doPost(HttpservletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res){
	...
	}
}

this servlet is my controller that handles all the request and is mapped in web.xml as

<servlet>
	<servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>pkg.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I want this servlet to be created as a bean so that I can inject some dependent components and also inject this bean in some other beans. Please suggest me how this can be done?

Is there any Proxy class for servlet, in Spring 3.0, similar to org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterPro xy for filter?

Thanks

Currently looking for an answer to that question myself. It's definitely not nice to obtain bean references through

WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(getServletContext())

You can "wrap" your servlet with a ServletWrappingController, that way it basically sits behind a DispatcherServlet and you can use bean wiring and also apply HandlerInterceptors if you like.
