Spring integration: accessing servlet context

[Leszek Gawron]

When integrating web application with Spring one needs to use 
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener. This listener 
registers spring ApplicationContext in web application's servlet context.

In the application you fetch spring application context via:
org.springframework.web.context.support.WebApplicationContextUtils
     .getWebApplicationContext(javax.servlet.ServletContext sc)
The problem is: how can I get access to cocoon's bare servlet context (I 
know that breaks the abstraction but who cares)?

Or how can I implement this functionality without direct acces to 
ServletContext (WebApplicationContextUtils source):

public static WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext(ServletContext sc) {
        Object attr = 
sc.getAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE);
        if (attr == null) {
                return null;
        }
        if (attr instanceof RuntimeException) {
                throw (RuntimeException) attr;
        }
        if (attr instanceof Error) {
                throw (Error) attr;
        }
        if (!(attr instanceof WebApplicationContext)) {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Root context attribute is not of type 
WebApplicationContext: " + attr);
        }
        return (WebApplicationContext) attr;
}
Would does cocoon context reach to ServletContext to resolve the attributes?
