As far as I am aware, Magnolia 4.X does not use any form of IoC container as part of the internal implementation, so there is no Spring Application Context. If you wish to use Spring to wire-up your services, I suspect the best way of achieving that would be use a module and have the Spring Application Context created as part of the module's lifecycle.
However I am not 100% sure how you would go about taking a bean created in an Application Context and making it a part of Magnolia configuration (perhaps someone else can help here ?). I believe that Magnolia will itself instantiate beans declared in it's configuration and will use the Content2Bean mechanism ( http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/configuration.html#Content2Bean) to configure them. For future reference, I seem to recollect reading that Magnolia 5 will be using an IoC container as part of the internal implementation, but I believe this was Pico container rather than Spring. cheers, Rob On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 11:33 PM, Magnolia Forums (on behalf of Radomir Zugic) <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm trying to set up a custom UserManager which uses an external database. > I have DAOs and services which I would like to inject into the UserManager > instance but I cannot see where the application context is set up.
