Yes, the spring docs are focused so far on the simpler cases. Configuring spring via na AAR isn't documented yet as I need to do more testing, but to asnswer your question I need to know where do you want to load the spring.jar from , inside the AAR or WEB-INF/lib ?
If the spring.jar is loaded from WEB-INF/lib , that's no problem and I can show you how to load your applicationContext.xml / beanRef.xml from the aar to configure Spring and you can use the ServiceObjectSupplier method to wire your beans as explained in the docs. One caveat: I need to test this with multiple AAR's, but my initial tests shows that it can work for one AAR . If the spring.jar is loaded inside the AAR , you still can load your applicationContext.xml from the aar. I'm still thinking thru, however, if you wanted to how you could use the ServiceObjectSupplier in that case . That's because the Spring ApplicationContext object, in the spring jar inside the aar case , will not be visible at the WEB-INF/lib level where the AbstractMessageReceiver will attempt to wire the bean. There's probably a solution here but I still need to think it thru. In the case of the latter, perhaps I can get AxisService.getClassLoader() at the ServiceObjectSupplier / AbstracMessageReceiver level to get the spring ApplicationContext object (not the xml file) from the AAR/lib/spring.jar , though that may not work in terms of classloader isolation. Someone such as Dims or Deepal may be able to comment . In any case, the solution at the service level will involve the service implementing the org.apache.axis2.engine.Service interface and doing the spring config in init() . There is a blocker for the next release, axis2-1033, that when resolved will permit init() to be called on server startup much like a servlet load on startup. My spring inside an aar tests have been calling a service first that configures spring until axis2-1033 is resolved. Once you let me know which scenario you have in mind I'll work with you to get it implemented. Cheers, Robert http://www.braziloutsource.com/ On 8/23/06, Declan Dunleavy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I emailed Robert Lazarski to get more information about integrating Axis2 with Spring, to which he helpfully pointed me to the following solution: > Spring support is in the nightlies: > > http://people.apache.org/dist/axis2/nightly/ > > Its documented here: > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java/xdocs/latest/spring.html This solution outlined here requires the Spring applicationContext.xml to live outside the AAR service file in the Axis2 WEB-INF folder and is configured within the web.xml, which is not as modular as I would like. I was wondering if there's any way to preserve service isolation by incorporating the ApplicationContext.xml / BeanFactory.xml inside the AAR. As I would prefer not to have to update the axis2 WEB-INF folder applicationContext.xml file with updates to the AARs bean classes every time I release new code. I wasn't sure if it was possible but thought I'd ask Robert anyway. He suggested I post the question here. Thanks in advance for any replies, Declan
