Phlogiston,
You should at least call "start" on FtpServer. To retrieve FtpServer
"springContext".getBean("idOfYourServer") ( it could be get() , I don't
know right now) will do the trick for you. Although Spring should provide
other ways to do this, I start ftpserver with a ContextListener which
retrieves the bean and starts the server when the web context is created,
and stops the server when the context is destroyed.
If you're using several Spring configuration files I guess you'll just need
to declare all of them in your web.xml (I'm a complete ignorant regarding
Spring but it seems you need to declare a listener in web.xml that will load
your ApplicationContext. The procedure is in Spring docs anyway).
There are no bean elements in our xml files because Spring allows its XML
format to be extended via custom Schemas. So, when you declare a
<nio-listener> FtpServer code will interpret that as a bean definition with
class NioListener. You could, of course, define the elemente via <bean>
definitions but the custom namespace for FtpServer makes life so much better
for everyone :)
