Hi Tom,
I have tried your suggestion, my applicationContex.xml is now defined
as,
<bean id="scFactoryBean" class="StrutsServletContextLoader"/>
<bean id="servletCtx" factory-bean="scFactoryBean" factory-
method="getServletContext"/>
<bean id="userService" class="user.RdfUserService">
<constructor-arg index="0">
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextResource">
<constructor-arg index="0" ref="servletCtx"/>
<constructor-arg index="1" type="java.lang.String" value="/
resources/users.rdf"/>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
my StrutsServletContextLoader class consists of one method
public ServletContext getServletContext() {
return ServletActionContext.getServletContext();
}
i am getting error from spring complaining missing servlet context.
You mentioned ServletActionContext needs to the executed within the
context of a webwork request, i think the problem is related to that.
Do you know how can i make my StrutsServletcontextLoader be executed
within a webwork request?
many thanks
Jeff

It would be very easy to create a Spring FactoryBean for this.
(Checkout the Spring Documentation if that doesn't make sense)
Then, to access the servlet context, just do a:
ServletContext servletContext =
ServletActionContext.getServletContext();
The FactoryBean would allow you to use dependency injection in
spring to inject the servlet context into any spring bean. (I'm
doing a similar thing with some of the our legacy services and
components) You could even convert the ServletContext into a Map
to decouple yourself from the servlet API. That way your process
beans would only be dependent on a Map instead of a
ServletContext. Keep in mind that the ServletActionContext is a
thread local, so it must be executed from within the context of a
webwork request.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the helpful information. I am just wondering is it
possible to get the ServletContext object in my spring
applicationContext.xml? What i am trying to do now is to create a
Resource object (ServletContextResource) and inject into a service
class and then use this service class in a struts action. At the
moment, I have to pass in the resource path (as a string) into the
action, instantiate the ServletContextResource in the action then
pass it to the service class.
many thanks,
Jeff

You need to make sure that your action is passing through an
interceptor-stack that includes ServletConfigInterceptor
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/core/apidocs/org/apache/struts2/

The struts-default package does include this.
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/struts-defaultxml.html
Another thing you can do is call the static method
ServletActionContext.getServletContext() but this would be harder
to support
in a unit testing environment. If you implement
ServletContextAware, then
you could provide a mock ServletContext implementation in your
unit test
setup, while you'd have a lot more awkward setup to do to make
sure that
ServletActionContext.getServletContext was prepared to return a
usable
value.

were u actually able to get the servletContext Object thru
servletContextAware?? I'd tried it but couldn't get it :(
do we need to do any additional stuff for that??
