Hi, we are trying to inject Spring Services into an Axis2 Service Class. Unfortunately the Spring application Context is loaded AFTER Webapp initializes the Axis2 Servlet.
My first approach was to use a SpringInit-Java Class that gets the application-Context: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/source/browse/branches/dev/injection/src/userservice/org/openmeetings/axis/services/SpringInit.java and in the services.xml I defined the initialization like that: <service name="SpringInit" class="org.openmeetings.axis.services.SpringInit"> <description>Init Spring Framework</description> <parameter name="ServiceClass">org.openmeetings.axis.services.SpringInit</parameter> <parameter name="ServiceTCCL">composite</parameter> <parameter name="load-on-startup">true</parameter> <operation name="springInit"> <messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.receivers.RawXMLINOutMessageReceiver"/> </operation> </service> => The problem is: Spring initializes *TWO TIMES*: 1) When my Axis2 SpringInit class initializes, it loads the applicationContext 2) When the Serlvet Container also has a hook (that one I cannot change) that loads the webapp. 2. Approache without the SpringInit in the services.xml If I simply do specify a service like that: <service name="UserService" > <description>User Service</description> <parameter name="ServiceObjectSupplier" locked="false">org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringAppContextAwareObjectSupplier</parameter> <parameter name="SpringBeanName" locked="false">userServiceSoap</parameter> <messageReceivers> <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-only" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCInOnlyMessageReceiver"/> <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver"/> </messageReceivers> <parameter name="ServiceClass" locked="xsd:false">org.openmeetings.axis.services.UserService</parameter> </service> Source code of Service.xml: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/source/browse/branches/dev/injection/src/META-INF/services.xml WITHOUT loading additionally with SpringInit I do get: UserService?WSDL => is generated fine. BUT when I do invoek any method in the Service I do get an exception: *Axis2 Can't find Spring's ApplicationContext* Who can help me with that? Is there a way to initialize the SpringInit AFTER the webapp is loaded somehow? I mean I cannot be the only person that has a Spring aware Web-Application and simply want's to inject the SpringBeans into Axis2 but WITHOUT Axis2 actually STARTING Spring cause Spring is already loaded via the Web-Container.
