Overriden method not getting called.

[Jigar Naik]

Hi,

I am trying to use togglez library for future toggle with Spring 2.0.
but the issue is that in one of the class of togglez library which usses method from Spring 2.5 to get applicationContext object.

Code from togglez library

public class SpringBeanFinder implements BeanFinder {

    @Override
    public <T> Collection<T> find(Class<T> clazz, Object context) {
        Collection<T> result = new ArrayList<T>();

        WebApplicationContext applicationContext = null;
        if (context instanceof ServletContext) {
            applicationContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext((ServletContext) context);
        }
        if (applicationContext == null) {
            applicationContext = ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext();
        }
        if (applicationContext != null) {
            result.addAll(applicationContext.getBeansOfType(clazz).values());
        }
        return result;
    }
}

so to load applicationContext for Spring 2.0 I have overridden method find as below.

public class DemoSpringBeanFinder extends SpringBeanFinder implements BeanFinder {

	@Override
	public <T> Collection<T> find(Class<T> clazz, Object context) {

		Collection<T> result = new ArrayList<T>();

		WebApplicationContext applicationContext = null;
		if (context instanceof ServletContext) {
			applicationContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext((ServletContext) context);
		}
		if (applicationContext == null) {
			applicationContext = MyApplicationConextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext();
		}

		if (applicationContext != null) {
			result.addAll(applicationContext.getBeansOfType(clazz).values());
		}

		return result;

	}
}

but the issue is that togglez library is still calling it's own version of find method.

Can anybody help me solve this issue.

How are you setting up that library to use your DemoSpringBeanFinder class?

Do.you have any documentation this togglez library? Are your bean finder objects loaded by spring, or does togglez instantiates it? You will have to look at the code that instantiates the bean finder
