Class ContextLoaderPlugIn

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn

All Implemented Interfaces:: PlugIn

public class ContextLoaderPlugIn
extends Object
implements PlugIn
extends Object
implements PlugIn

Struts 1.1+ PlugIn that loads a Spring application context for the Struts ActionServlet. This context will automatically refer to the root WebApplicationContext (loaded by ContextLoaderListener/Servlet) as parent.

The default namespace of the WebApplicationContext is the name of the Struts ActionServlet, suffixed with "-servlet" (e.g. "action-servlet"). The default location of the XmlWebApplicationContext configuration file is therefore "/WEB-INF/action-servlet.xml".

 <plug-in className="org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn"/>

The location of the context configuration files can be customized through the "contextConfigLocation" setting, analogous to the root WebApplicationContext and FrameworkServlet contexts.

 <plug-in className="org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn">
   <set-property property="contextConfigLocation" value="/WEB-INF/action-servlet.xml /WEB-INF/myContext.xml"/>
 </plug-in>

Beans defined in the ContextLoaderPlugIn context can be accessed from conventional Struts Actions, via fetching the WebApplicationContext reference from the ServletContext. ActionSupport and DispatchActionSupport are pre-built convenience classes that provide easy access to the context.

It is normally preferable to access Spring's root WebApplicationContext in such scenarios, though: A shared middle tier should be defined there rather than in a ContextLoaderPlugin context, for access by any web component. ActionSupport and DispatchActionSupport autodetect the root context too.

A special usage of this PlugIn is to define Struts Actions themselves as beans, typically wiring them with middle tier components defined in the root context. Such Actions will then be delegated to by proxy definitions in the Struts configuration, using the DelegatingActionProxy class or the DelegatingRequestProcessor.

Note that you can use a single ContextLoaderPlugIn for all Struts modules. That context can in turn be loaded from multiple XML files, for example split according to Struts modules. Alternatively, define one ContextLoaderPlugIn per Struts module, specifying appropriate "contextConfigLocation" parameters.

Note: The idea of delegating to Spring-managed Struts Actions originated in Don Brown's Spring Struts Plugin. ContextLoaderPlugIn and DelegatingActionProxy constitute a clean-room implementation of the same idea, essentially superseding the original plugin. Many thanks to Don Brown and Matt Raible for the original work and for the agreement to reimplement the idea in Spring proper!
