Sharing ApplicationContext in Spring MVC and Non Spring MVC Portlet

In my project i had this interesting problem that i have one Portlet Application, which has 4 portlets now 3 of the portlets are using Spring MVC framework but the fourth portlet does not use Spring Portlet MVC framework instead it extends GenericPortlet. All my 4 portlets use same DAO and other classes and i am using Spring for wiring my DAOs

Problem was that how do i obtain ApplicationContext for the portlet that is not Spring Portlet MVC or how do i get access to ApplicationContext object.


PortletApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getPortletContext())


You can use PortletApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext() method, which is static method anywhere in your web application code to get access to ApplicationContext created by the ContextLoaderListener in your class.
