Hi all first i'd like to thank all of you that have given me valuable feedback to my question.
Following the answers from Dave and Jeromy i decided to go the "hard" way with Spring and DI. After reading some manuals (thanks to GF, good reading) i managed to load the Spring ContextLoaderListener and even define an POJO bean that serves as my BusinessLogicService. From the Tomcat logs i can see that an instance of that Service is created. As far as i read/unterstood, i now would only have to create a setter method on my Action class and Spring then would automatically inject the related dependcy to my Action class. So far, this doesn't seem to work, so i guess, i must be missing something. My applicationContext.xml looks quite simple (and seems to work, since the DispatcherService is created on startup): ----------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";> <beans default-autowire="autodetect"> <bean id="DispatcherService" class="com.demo.businesslogic.DispatcherService"/> </beans> ----------- The Struts config looks like: ----------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd";> <struts> <package name="customerAgent" extends="struts-default"> <action name="login" method="login" class="com.demo.CustomerAction"> <result name="input">/CustomerLogin.jsp</result> <result name="success">/CustomerChat.jsp</result> </action> <action name="logout" method="logout" class="com.demo.CustomerAction"> <result name="success">/CustomerLogin.jsp</result> <result name="input">/CustomerLogin.jsp</result> </action> <action name="chat" method="chat" class="com.demo.CustomerAction"> <result name="success">/CustomerChat.jsp</result> </action> </package> </struts> ----------- So i guess, i must be missing something. Is there a way i would have to tell Spring which Action classes to inject? Thanks a lot for your help Frank --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
