I didn't actually write our lifecycle container, but the developer who did told me that Spring comes with a sample showing how to integrate it into any servlet by providing a routine that gets specified in web.xml. He actually did that first, but I preferred the method described above.
Spring does indeed provide a servlet listener for initializing an application context [1]. I am curious as to why you preferred wrapping in in an Avalon component.
