Spring - Context - Standalone Client

[rudresh kumar]

Hi All,

We have an web application developed which works fine (JSF/Spring/Database). Have used HibernateDAO Support for the Persistance.

Now few services needs to be exposed as WebServices. So i have created new class and hosted as webservice, internally calling the DAO class which extends the HibernateDAOSupport by context.getbean("dao").

By Doing so i am not able to get the sessionfactory/ datasource and others. While calling the webservice, the bean creation fails with error in creating the bean "dao", and it gives sessionfactory and datasource as the attributes.

I do agree that these would be loaded during application startup by the container. But how to achieve the same from Standalone client

Would request to guide on solving the above issue.

Thanks
Rudresh

Initialize the application context yourself. Details are in the Spring documentation and tutorials.
