Hi,

First try putting the loading of the app context into a static member, rather than in the method ….



public static ApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:alfresco/application-context.xml");

‍‍‍‍‍

… now the calling code should look something like this …



inittest obj = inittest.applicationContext.getBean("initTest");
obj.login();

‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps,
Roy

yup it works, thanks.

i just want to conform, does it work for all situations, i looked at alfresco code and no where application context is defined in a static way.

ad thanks prasanth.

The initialisation of the Application context depends on the environment you're executing in. For example, the Web Client uses web.xml to initialise a WebApplicationContext. Take a look in web.xml (within the source bundle at /projects/web-client/source/web/web-inf) and search for ContextLoaderListener and contextConfigLocation.
