Converting iBATIS DAO to Spring DAO in non-web application

[Jasmin_Mehta]

Hi,

I want to convert my iBATIS DAO to Spring DAO. My Java project is not web 
project. But its application running using class that has main() method. 
So in order to use Spring DAO, I had to specially create web\WEB-INF 
folder and add web.xml file, spring.xml file to it.

web.xml has below content:

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 
2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app>
    <description>web.xml file for OTM Web Application</description>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>
 
    <listener>
 
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
 
    <listener>
 
<listener-class>org.nexweb.otm.spring.listeners.SpringInit</listener-class>
    </listener>
</web-app>

spring.xml has below content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
        "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";>
<beans>
    <bean id="propertyConfigurer" 
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="location" value="classpath:jdbc.properties"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
       <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>
        <property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}"/>
        <property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}"/>
        <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="sqlMapClient"
          class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation">
 <value>classpath:org/nexweb/otm/ibatis/config/SqlMapConfig.xml</value>
        </property>
        <property name="useTransactionAwareDataSource">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="dataSource">
            <ref bean="dataSource"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    <bean id="sqlMapClientTemplate"
          class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientTemplate">
        <property name="sqlMapClient">
            <ref bean="sqlMapClient"/>
        </property>
    </bean> 
 
    <bean id="glogDao" 
class="org.nexweb.otm.ibatis.dao.sqlmaps.GLogXMLSqlMapDAO">
        <property name="sqlMapClient">
            <ref bean="sqlMapClient"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
 
    <bean id="xmlService" 
class="org.nexweb.otm.ibatis.services.XmlService">
        <constructor-arg index="0" ref="glogDao"/>
    </bean>
</beans>


I also added SpringInit.java file as shown in 
http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/IBATIS/Converting+iBATIS+DAO+to+Spring+DAO.

Now, when I invoke SpringInit.getApplicationContext() method, its 
returning me 'null'. The application is not calling  contextInitialized() 
when I run it thru the main() method call.

What should I do to set WebApplicationContext springContext ?

Thanks
Jasmin
