Package org.apache.struts2.spring

Class SpringObjectFactory

java.lang.Object

org.apache.struts2.ObjectFactory

org.apache.struts2.spring.SpringObjectFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware

Direct Known Subclasses:

SpringProxyableObjectFactory, StrutsSpringObjectFactory

public class SpringObjectFactory
extends ObjectFactory
implements org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware

Simple implementation of the ObjectFactory that makes use of Spring's application context if one has been configured, before falling back on the default mechanism of instantiating a new class using the class name.

In order to use this class in your application, you will need to instantiate a copy of this class and set it as XWork's ObjectFactory before the xwork.xml file is parsed. In a servlet environment, this could be done using a ServletContextListener.
