- MC is able to pick beans from a factory.
- MC is able to inject beans into a Map.

given that we can have a bean factory that produces a POJO that has a Map as property. That Map is a wrapper around the ServletContext attributes.

public class ServletContextAttributes
{
 private final ServletContext context;
 public ServletContextAttributesInj(ServletContext context)
 {
 this.context = context;
 }
 public void setAttributes(Map attrs)
 {
 for (Iterator i = attrs.entrySet().iterator();i.hasNext();)
 {
 Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)i.next();
 String name = (String)entry.getKey();
 Object value = entry.getValue();
 context.setAttribute(name, value);
 }
 }
}

For the bean factory one already exist in the test module : org.jboss.portal.test.framework.TestBeanFactory

Then at startup of the servlet context listener we would have something like:

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)
{
 // Create wrapper that configures
 ServletContextAttributes attrs = new ServletContextAttributes(event.getServletContext());

 // Configure MC
 TestRuntimeContext runtimeContext = new TestRuntimeContext("jboss-beans.xml");
 runtimeContext.addBean("ServletContextAttributes", attrs);
 runtimeContext.start();
}

and in jboss-beans.xml we would have something like :

<deployment ...>

 ... <!-- Declare all beans that are wired like AuthorizationDomainRegistry, etc... -->

 <!-- That's one bean that interest us to be injected in the servlet context as an attribute -->
 <bean name="PortalObjectContainer" class="org.jboss.portal.core.impl.model.portal.PersistentPortalObjectContainer">
 <property name="sessionFactoryJNDIName">java:/SessionFactory</property>
 <property name="authorizationDomainRegistry"><inject bean="AuthorizationDomainRegistry"/></property>
 <property name="portalAuthorizationManagerFactory"><inject bean="AuthorizationManagerFactory"/></property>
 <property name="contentProviderRegistry"><inject bean="ContentProviderRegistry"/></property>
 </bean>

 <bean name="ServletContextAttributes" class="ServletContextAttributes">
 <constructor factoryMethod="getBean">
 <factory bean="BeanFactory"/>
 <parameter>ServletContextAttributes</parameter>
 </constructor>
 <property name="attributes">
 <map keyClass="java.lang.String">
 <entry>
 <key>PortalObjectContainer</key>
 <value><inject bean="PortalObjectContainer"/></value>
 </entry>
 </map>
 </property>
 </bean>

</deployment>
