I have written a preprocess filter for the commons chain from the ShaleApplicationFilter. I have also successfully integrate Shale and Spring using the value binding method. However, I would like to access the Spring Bean Factory inside the preprocess filter. Is there anyway to get an instance of the Spring's WebApplicationContext inside the preprocess filter? The following is the sample code I wrote: public class PermissionFilter extends AbstractRegExpFilter { PermissionsManager permissionsManager ;
/** * <p>Return the servlet path (if any) concatenated with the path info * (if any) for this request.</p> * * @param context <code>Context</code> for the current request */ protected String value(ShaleWebContext context) { if (this.permissionsManager == null) { WebApplicationContext wac = (WebApplicationContext)context.getContext() ; this.permissionsManager = (PermissionsManager)wac.getBean("permissionsManager") ; } String servletPath = context.getRequest().getServletPath(); if (servletPath == null) { servletPath = ""; } String pathInfo = context.getRequest().getPathInfo(); if (pathInfo == null) { pathInfo = ""; } return servletPath + pathInfo ; } } But it fails when casting the servlet context to Spring's WebApplicationContext. Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Accessing-Spring-Beans-inside-ShaleApplication-preprocess-hook-tf4219349.html#a12003589 Sent from the Shale - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
