Bean Profiles - Not activating via web.xml but with contextInitializerClasses

[skram]

Previously, I posted the following: http://forum.springsource.org/showth...RC1-An-example

For some reason, the "web-dev" profile is not getting activated when I'm running my app in Tomcat. How do I know? It keeps telling me that I'm missing beans (that I've declared under the "web-dev" profile).

Based on http://blog.springsource.com/2011/02...1-m1-released/, to activate via web.xml, you declare:

<servlet>
	<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
	<init-param>
	<param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
	<param-value>PROFILE HERE</param-value>
	</init-param>
</servlet>

But it doesn't work. To make it work, I had to follow the suggestion from this blog http://raymondhlee.wordpress.com/201...t-environment/ and from this JIRA https://issues.springsource.org/browse/SPR-8366

Basically I had to declare under web.xml:

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextInitializerClasses</param-name>
		<param-value>org.myapp.here.ContextProfileInitializer</param-value>
	</context-param>

package org.myapp.here;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextInitializer;
import org.springframework.core.env.ConfigurableEnvironment;
import org.springframework.web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext;

public class ContextProfileInitializer implements ApplicationContextInitializer<ConfigurableWebApplicationContext> {
	
	public void initialize(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext ctx) {
		ConfigurableEnvironment environment = ctx.getEnvironment();
		environment.setActiveProfiles("web-dev");
	}
	
}

Here's my applicationContext.xml fragment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 	<!-- Import bean definitions -->
	<beans profile="web-dev, test-dev">

		<import resource="spring-data-jpa.xml"/>
		<import resource="spring-security-roles.xml" />
	</beans>
	
	<beans profile="web-dev">
		<bean id="deployProperties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean"
				p:location="/WEB-INF/spring.properties" />
        
		<import resource="spring-cache.xml"/>
		<import resource="tiles-context.xml" />
		<import resource="themes-context.xml" />
	</beans>  
	
	<beans profile="test-dev">
		<bean id="deployProperties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean"
				p:location="classpath:spring.properties" />
	</beans>
</beans>

Seems this also works but i am already in my firs testing stage, so I am not 100% sure:

<context-param>
<param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
<param-value>webflow-development,security-simple</param-value>
</context-param>
