ApplicationContextAware issue

[back2grave]

Hi,
I'm using spring ApplicationContextAware to set the Application context to my web services endpoint. There's no exception when I install and start the bundle. When I'm trying to call the service, I'getting a null pointer exception as the application context is showing up as "null". Here's the app context entry :

<jaxws:endpoint id="taxonomyquery"  implementor="com.test.taxonomy.soap.query.service.TaxonomySoapQueryServiceImpl"
  address="/taxonomyquery" />

And here's my sample code:

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.test.taxonomy.soap.query.service.ITaxonomySoapQueryService")
public class TaxonomySoapQueryServiceImpl implements ITaxonomySoapQueryService, ApplicationContextAware {

 private static ApplicationContext ctx = null;

 private static Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TaxonomySoapQueryServiceImpl.class);
 
 @Override
 public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ctx) throws BeansException {
  this.ctx = ctx;
 } 

 public ProductReleaseResponse queryProductRelease(ProductReleaseRequest req) {
  ProductReleaseResponse response = new ProductReleaseResponse ();
  try {
   req.status = RequestHelper.transformStatus(req.status);
   ITaxonomySoapPluginQuery tp = (ITaxonomySoapPluginQuery) ctx.getBean("taxonomyQueryPlugin");
   response = tp.queryProductRelease(req);
  }
  catch (Exception ex) {
   LOGGER.error(ex.getMessage());
   response.status = "ERROR";
  }
  return response;
 }

The service is starting without any issues, which prompted me to believe that the Application Context should have been set correctly.

I've also tried using BeanfactoryAware, but got the same exception.

Any pointer will be appreciated.

- Thanks

My bad, I declared it wrong in the spring config.

<jaxws:endpoint id="taxonomyquery"
  implementor="#taxonomyqueryImpl"
  address="/taxonomyquery" />

<bean id="taxonomyqueryImpl" class="com.test.taxonomy.soap.query.service.TaxonomySoapQueryServiceImpl"/>

This resolved the issue
