In the init() method you can get a reference to the ServletContext from the FilterConfig object... then you can either use it then or store it in an instance variable of the filter. If you filter is acting across more than one context this is not a good idea; howerver, I don't think they can... am I wrong?
The filter has always seemed a bit lacking to me. Hope this helps.

So I've found some info on getting the Spring Context inside a generic servlet. ServletContext servletContext = this.getServletContext(); WebApplicationContext wac = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext); But where I need to get the context is inside a class that is a Servlet Filter... which does not have access to a servlet context (presumably because filters can act cross contexts?) So I'm still stuck. :-( Timo > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Colson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 1:32 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [jug-discussion] How to grab a Spring configured bean? > > Hey folks - > I'm trying to understand and use Spring, falling down a bit. > > I have a "ds" bean in Spring config (DataSource), and a > Struts action which > extends DispatchActionSupport.
