[Springframework-developer] How to getting at an application context

[Dion A. <di...@al...>]

Hi guys -

When I have code in something like a ServletContextListener I can get access
to the application context easily via:

ApplicationContext appContext =
WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext(
));

However, I have a class that is initiated from third party library, which is
loaded from WEB-INF/lib.

This third party library has nothing to do with the web, so there is no way
to get the ServletContext, and hence the application context.

Is there anyway that I can get from this loaded class to my nice context?
E.g. can my code look at its ClassLoader and find anything from there?

Cheers,

Dion
