ClassPathXmlApplicationContext + Acegi

[angela]

Hi all

i'm loading my spring resources in a InitServlet with the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext. That means i have no SpringContextLoader Listener defined in my web.xml. How does that work now with acegi?

In my web.xml i registered the security filter:
<filter>
<filter-name>securityFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.acegisecurity.util.FilterToBeanProxy</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>targetClass</param-name>
<param-value>org.acegisecurity.util.FilterChainProxy</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>

And my Servlet which initializes the context:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>propertiesInit</servlet-name>
<description>Initializes the properties...</description>
<servlet-class>
najsre7.webapp.action.start.PropertiesInitServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

So if i try to start my application i get the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No WebApplicationContext found: no ContextLoaderListener registered?
at org.springframework.web.context.support.WebApplica tionContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext( WebApplicationContextUtils.java:86)


I also tried to use the ContextListener, but then my Spring files are loaded twice! Once with the COntextListener and once in my PropertiesInitServlet. Maybe there is a way to access the Spring Context in my PropertiesInitServlet, so i don't have to load it twice.

Any ideas what's the best solution?

Kind regards
Angela

This doesn't look like it has anything to do with Acegi. Is there a reason why you can't use one of the standard Spring context loaders? If so, you will have to mimic the same behaviour which involves storing the app context in the ServletContext.
