Class Summary

WebApplicationContextVariableResolver

Extended VariableResolver that exposes the Spring WebApplicationContext instance under a variable named with the specified manifest constant.

Package org.apache.shale.spring Description

The package contains an optional integration layer connecting Shale with the Spring Framework. The following capabilities are enabled by this integration:

• Spring's DelegatingVariableResolver is automatically enabled, which will utilize Spring's standard facilities to create a new bean if the standard JavaServer Faces managed bean facility does not recognize this variable name.
• An additional resolver is added that maps the (configurable) variable name webApplicationContext to the instance of org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext that Spring has established for this web application.

To enable this integration in applications based on Shale, simply include the following JAR files in your application's /WEB-INF/lib directory, in addition to shale.jar:

• From the Shale Core Library distribution: shale-spring.jar.
• From the Spring Framework distribution (version 1.1.5 or later): spring-context.jar, spring-core.jar, and spring-web.jar (alternatively, include spring.jar which includes all of the above)
