Spring bean injection to Service implementation

[sagolsb]

Hi,

I have been trying to inject Spring beans to JBossWS native service implementation but still not successful. I tried getting the WebApplicationContext as follows, via @Resource WebServiceContext context, but it returns null (java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not yet supported):

ServletContext servletContext =
(ServletContext) context.getMessageContext().get(
MessageContext.SERVLET_CONTEXT);
webApplicationContext =
WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);

Is there any example to inject Spring beans to JBossWS (native) services?

Regards,

Here are some more information: when the web application starts up the web application context is started as shown in the stack trace below:

[[/CredentialService]] Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext
[ContextLoader] Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started
....................
[XmlWebApplicationContext] Bean factory for application context [org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext@f582e9]: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@b9915a
.......
[DefaultListableBeanFactory] Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@b9915a: defining beans [echoService]; root of factory hierarchy
..............
[ContextLoader] Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in 170 ms


Within the web service implementation class, the WebServiceContext is injected through @Resource and the ServletContext is retrieved from this through the MessageContext, both of which are printed out from the service implementation as shown below:


[STDOUT] WebServiceContext: org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.WebServiceContextJSE@477e4c
[STDOUT] ServletContext: org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.soap.adapter.SOAPProcessorServletContext@1b4e510

But when I try to retrive the WebApplicationContext through:
webApplicationContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
which in turn internally calls:
servletContext.getAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE);

throws the exception:

ERROR [InvocationHandlerJAXWS] Method invocation failed with exception: null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
........................
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not yet supported
at org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.soap.adapter.SOAPProcessorServletContext.getAttribute(SOAPProcessorServletContext.java:45)
..................................

Can you please let me know if I'm missing something?

Just realized that this is a problem with the JBossESB SOAPProcessor; it works perfectly fine if I access the service directly, bypassing the ESB. Still I need a solution; please.
