I had thought the components.xml file would be a natural integration point for Spring factory beans. To this end, I have written my own WebWork enabler interface and exposed our Spring factories this way. It seems lighter weight and a more natural WebWork integration point than coupling the web-tier and the Spring Framework than creating new dispatchers/interceptors.
Any thoughts? P.S.: In my component, I access the factory bean using this type of construct: WebApplicationContext appContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext( ServletActionContext.getServletContext()); (IntranetSession) appContext.getBean("nameOfSpringFactoryBean"); It doesn't give me any gee-whiz XML configurable component, but the components.xml file should be made to allow parameters in the <class> tag at some point. If this is done, then this approach gets more dynamic. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
