cannot access a bean defined in dispatcher Servlet's xml

[kzhou]

We have a spring bean defined in one of our dispatcher Servlet's xml (i.e., dg-servlet.xml).

<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freema rker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
...
</bean>

We would like to access it from application context. But it cannot be found either by referring it in the application-context.xml or programmaticlly.

How do we solve this problem?

Thank a lot!

You're doing it wrong. Inject the bean wherever you need it.
