Getting spring setup sort of "anyplace, anytime" like axis2 does is
pretty simple, and you could use this ApplicationContextHolder class
that comes with the distro. The only thing I'm not sure about with
concerning modules is getting a handle to a Classloader reference,
since you need either a servlet container or the Classloader from
Axis2Service when used to integrate Axis2 services. A module though is
totally different and you may not really need to integrate with axis2,
just run spring inside of it. In that case, I'd try something like(not
tested):
public class MyModule implements Module {
// initialize the module
public void init(ConfigurationContext configContext, AxisModule
module) throws AxisFault {
ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext appCtx = new
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]
{"applicationContext.xml"}, false);
appCtx.setClassLoader(classLoader);
appCtx.refresh();
}
define this bean as shown in the docs:
<!-- Configure spring to give a hook to axis2 without a ServletContext -->
<bean id="applicationContext"
class="org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.ApplicationContextHolder"
/>
Then every time you need a bean reference:
ApplicationContext aCtx = ApplicationContextHolder.getContext();
MyObject = (MyObject) aCtx.getBean("myBean");
