Where can I find the class InitializerContextLoaderListener ? I tried to follow the above code, but I couldn't find InitializerContextLoaderListener anywhere, so I assumed that you were refering to ContextLoaderListener , and substituting InitializerContextLoaderListener with ContextLoaderListener made the code compile, but it doesn't run. The problem is as per the code for JndiContextSaver, the WebApplicationContext is created by calling super method. And here if the web context's applicationContext.xml has any bean definitions, that refer to a parent bean defi. (in bean factory in the ejb context), then they don't get deployed. I get bean ref. error, and as a result the WebApplication context creation throws an error. If the WebApplicationContext is created by a super call, how will the spring deployer make it aware of the parent application context in the ejb container.
