Getting servlet context in a web bundle deployed in dm server 2

[vishalj]

Hi,
Previously i used to get the servlet context from WebApplicationContext in my bean implementing ApplicationContextAware

public class ApplicationContextHelper implements ApplicationContextAware{

	private static WebApplicationContext ctx;

	  public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ctx) throws BeansException {
		 ApplicationContextHelper.ctx = (WebApplicationContext)ctx;
	  }
		
	  public static ServletContext getContext() {
	    ServletContext servletContext = ctx.getServletContext();
	    return servletContext;
	  }

	
	
}

Now the code gives me ClassCastException

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.osgi.context.support.OsgiBundleXmlApplicationContext cannot be cast to org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext

All i want is getting servletContext in my spring beans

Can you provide some extra info:

1. How is your web.xml is configured? i.e. what is you context class name
2. Where are you spring context files? i.e. in META-INF/spring or somewhere else
3. What version fo dm-server you are running.

1.Context class in web.xml:

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextClass</param-name>
		<param-value>com.springsource.server.web.dm.ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext</param-value>
	</context-param>

2.My context xml's are placed under META-INF/spring

3. I am running my web-app under springsource-dm-server-2.0.0.RC1

I believe that by placing the files under /META-INF/spring - your context files are processed by spring-dm extender vs. the context class that you specified.

Try to place the contexts under WEB-INF/ and specify the config this way:

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            /WEB-INF/spring/context/*.xml
        </param-value>
    </context-param>

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextClass</param-name>
        <param-value>com.springsource.server.web.dm.ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext</param-value>
    </context-param>


    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
