The simplest solution - if it's possible - is to make the spawned thread a parent of the request thread, and then grab what you need from the parent thread as soon as the child thread starts.
Does Struts2 use InheritableThreadLocal? If it did, this would be even easier. John On 2/10/11 11:02 AM, "Wes Wannemacher" <w...@wantii.com> wrote: Because, I'm not in a request-processing thread... In this app, I have a ServletContextListener that launches threads for managing some housekeeping stuff (in this case, looking for specific xml files in jars). I need the configured packages (PackageConfigs) within one of these threads. I did try to get the Dispatcher instance, but it kept coming back null, which led me to dig a bit and then I realized that I am not in a request processing thread (neither is the ServletContextListener that launched the thread). I am going to try to poke around the ServletContext to see if I can get the container that way. -Wes On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 1:29 PM, Maurizio Cucchiara <maurizio.cucchi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wes, > to be frankly I didn't get what you said. > > Dispatcher.getInstance().getContainer() should be yield a container > reference (among the other things it's the better way a know in order > to do that). > > What's the problem with the threadlocal stuff? > > On 10 February 2011 17:43, Wes Wannemacher <w...@wantii.com> wrote: >> Guys, >> >> I am in a non-struts environment (spring class, loaded by a customer >> ServletContextListener), and I am trying to get my hands on the Struts >> 2 configuration.
