In Mannings "Struts 2 in Action" there's an example of Spring setter-injection by simply specifying the bean to be injected with a basic applicationContext.xml like;
<beans> <bean id="securityManager" class="com.myApp.security.PasswordChecker" /> </beans> and everywhere where my action classes have a setSecurityManager() method the PasswordChecker is injected. This works brilliantly. However how far down the "tree" can I go with this simple approach? For example, the securityManager in turn has a setService(Service service) method, and defining an additional <bean id="service" class="........"/> is not working as expected - the injection is not happening whereas <bean id="securityManager" class="com.myApp.security.PasswordChecker"> <property name="service"><ref local="Service"/> </property> </bean> <bean id="Service" class="com.myApp.services.ServicesImpl"/> injects the SecurityManager with the service and then injects the SecurityManager into my Action. Have I missed something or is this working as it should and I'm misunderstanding the book?
