configure applicationContext for servlets?

[emaayan]

hi..

i would like to configure tomcat servlet with applicationContext, i don't want to use webflow, or mvc, i just wanna wire beans simplest (and fastest way), i thought about using ClassPathApplicationContext, but i was wondering if i can use the WebApplicationContext for this as well.

(using spring 1.2.8).

Just use the ContextLoaderListener to load the ApplicationContext. It will be registered in the ServletContext under a specified name (WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEX T_ATTRIBUTE) for the actual value check the source of the ContextLoaderListener and related classes.

Of course you can always create your own loader which uses the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.
