[Springframework-developer] Using Spring as a Singleton Factory?

[Robert W. <rw...@gm...>]

I am looking for a method to easily access the current ApplicationContext
that is not bound to j2ee. The closest thing I have found is
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext(),
but this class has dependencies on j2ee. Is there a recommended way of
obtaining the current ApplicationContext for applications that may exist
outside the web?

Thanks in advance!
Rob
