Problem accessing ApplicationContext in my Portlet

[funkybreizh]

Hello,

I'm developping with Spring Portlet MVC and when I define a bean in my applicationContext.xml, it is not instanciate in my Portlet can't access to it. I did the same thing with Liferay and it works.

For exemple :

In my applicationContext.xml :

<bean id="myService" class="MyService" />

And in my Portlet

public MyService myService;

public (getter & setter)...

My service isn't instanciate, but if I define it in the app-portlet.xml (the portlet spring Context) it works. But I really want to define many beans in the application context. And more, has I saied, with Liferay it works.

Thanks for the help

Can you attach your sample using applicationContext.xml to define beans instead of the app-portlet.xml.

I've tried and define many beans in the application context, and it works with gatein.

You should also checkout source code from  http://spring-portlet-sample.googlecode.com/svn/spring-portlet-sample/trunk/ to try

I have the same configuration :

I'm using JBoss AS.

Thanks

Ok, I find...

I used to deploy my portlet not in the JBoss deploy folder, I did that thanks to the eclipse Jboss config. SO now I deploy directly in the "deploy" folder, and it works.

You should try to deploy on apache tomcat for your problem

If you cleared this problem, and expert at Spring portlet MVC, would you like solving the same problem in Spring community :  http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=93402 , thank a lot
