Since web.xml has following definition which doesn't include /WEB-INF/action-servlet.xml, for controllers like SignupController which extends from SimpleFormController I can't get any beans defined from applicationContext-*.xml in controller class IF there is NO property reference to beans of applicationContext-*.xml from any beans defined in action-servlet.xml. I used getApplicationContext().getBeanDefinitionNames() in controller to verify that only beans from action-servlet.xml are available.
-- web.xml -- <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-*.xml,/WEB-INF/security.xml</param-value> </context-param> applicationContext-*.xml and action-servlet.xml are defined in different contexts as you can tell from following(I implements ApplicationContextAware in manager to have context to try to get beans defined in action-servlet.xml but failed to achieve it), my question is how I can get reference to beans in applicationContext-*.xml in controller class if I don't have any related property reference for beans of applicationContext-*.xml in action-servlet.xml.
