Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply, but I don't understand how this will get the spring managed service class into my struts created presentation bean. I think that Cristian's answer might be easier?

I only want to change the DAO to Spring DAO because IBATIS DAO is depreciated and if so b) The BeanAction class is using private static final TheService theService = TheService.getInstance(); to connect with the service object, what created itself static; private static final TheService instance = new TheService(); How do I get a instance from the spring created service object? Yes, you can do this. Since your BeanAction is not a Spring managed bean you can use @Configurable to dependency inject arbitrary objects in your application: http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/aop.html#aop-a tconfigurable This only works if you are using JDK5 and are willing to add AspectJ to your project :) Tom
