Stefan Rufer [http://community.jboss.org/people/stefanrufer] replied to the discussion "@Autowiring of beans from Spring applicationcontext" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/535008#535008 -------------------------------------------------------------- I struggled with a similar problem and solved it with the following configuration in web.xml of the WAR file exposing my SOAP service:      <!--        The MessageDispatcherServlet is the entry point for all kinds of        SOAP requests. It implicitely loads an application context file        /WEB-INF/<servletname>-servlet.xml if not configured otherwise.        However, as we want component scanning and everything        we configure an own application context and context loader.               Component scanning did not work if relying on the parent        Spring context (the parent context is the one loaded via        ContextLoaderListener). It only works if the default spring-ws        context mechanism is reconfigured to use the application context        in the classes directory. If done so, <import .../> and component           scanning works.      -->      <servlet>           <servlet-name>trxservice</servlet-name>           <servlet-class>org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet</servlet-class>           <init-param>                <param-name>transformWsdlLocations</param-name>                <param-value>true</param-value>           </init-param>           <init-param>             <param-name>contextClass</param-name>             <param-value>org.jboss.spring.vfs.context.VFSXmlWebApplicationContext</param-value>           </init-param>           <init-param>             <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>             <param-value>classpath:applicationContext-web.xml</param-value>           </init-param>      </servlet>      <servlet-mapping>           <servlet-name>trxservice</servlet-name>           <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>      </servlet-mapping> Hope this helps Stefan -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/535008#535008] Start a new discussion in Spring Integration at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
