I have an application that is integrated with Spring and a new requirement is forcing me to update user login status for all users on application restart.
I want to do this using Springs JdbcOperations to do a simple execute of a sql statement since Spring and Spring JPA are used throughout the application. The Application's init() method seems like a good place to do it since that method runs whenever the application is started. The problem I ran into is that my JdbcOperations instance is not injected into the Application class instance so the init method throws a null pointer exception. I am able to inject JdbcOperations and lots of other things in my web pages, but apparently, Spring has not yet been initialized when the Application's init method is called. I suppose I could do something outside of Spring, but that would make it inconsistent with the rest of the application. Does anybody have any idea how to work around this? Is there any other place later in the lifecycle of starting the application where I could do this? Thanks, Bruce
