Hi,
I have done some work to locate the Spring application context in another way. Both wicket-spring and wicket-spring-annot assume that the application context can be obtained with WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredApplicationContext(aServletContext). Luckily, it is easy to write my own IWebApplicationFactory which does the appropriate lookup and I am still able to extend SpringWebApplication. Nevertheless, this does not work because SpringComponentInjector also hardcodes a lookup of the application context using WebApplicationContextUtils. The code is like this: public SpringComponentInjector(WebApplication webapp) { // locate spring's application context ... ServletContext sc = webapp.getWicketServlet().getServletContext( ); final ApplicationContext ctx = WebApplicationContextUtils .getRequiredWebApplicationContext(sc); .... } In other words, a redundancy. In my opinion, the code should be modified as follows: 1. Add a new constructor which accepts the ApplicationContext as a parameter. 2. Remove the existing constructor with the WebApplication OR document it to use the WebApplicationContextUtils for retrieving the application context What do you think?
