hi Joe,
Implementing the ResourceLoaderAware interface has solved my problem.
many thanks!
i havent tried to use ServletContextAware but I think it will work
equally well.
many thanks

I think there are a lot of possible routes, but I'm not sure I
understand
your goal.
Could you just have your service implement ResourceLoaderAware? If
your
Spring ApplicationContext is a WebApplicationContext (as it would
be if set
up by ContextLoaderListener), then the ResourceLoader would check the
ServletContext for resources in addition to the class path, etc.
If you don't want your service to implement a Spring interface,
there are
some Spring beans that help bridge the gap, briefly name-checked here
http://www.interface21.com/news-home/2005/spring-1.1.4-released
These
mostly just let you apply ServletContext attributes to Spring beans in
various ways without binding your code to the Servlet API.
My hunch is trusting that the ResourceLoaderAware is the right
solution,
especially now that I realize that if you're passing in a
ServletContextResource, then you've already accepted the Spring API
into
your service layer.
Does that help?

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the helpful information. I am just wondering is it
possible to get the ServletContext object in my spring
applicationContext.xml? What i am trying to do now is to create a
Resource object (ServletContextResource) and inject into a service
class and then use this service class in a struts action. At the
moment, I have to pass in the resource path (as a string) into the
action, instantiate the ServletContextResource in the action then
pass it to the service class.
many thanks,
Jeff
