[Springframework-developer] setApplicationContext() not called on Singletons???

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi all,

I've been spending like an hour on it, but can't find it:

I've got a bean (dataControllerSupport) defined which is referenced from
another bean (accountFormController), via <ref bean>. When the second
bean is loaded, it received the bean it's depending on. After that,
afterPropertiesSet() is called (on accountFormController), in which I'm
using the dataControllerSupport bean to resolve some things for me. The
dataControllerSupport bean needs the applicationcontext and therefore,
is ApplicationContext Aware. Hwoever, it does NOT have the application
context set!!! I've been investigating a while and really think
somewhere there's a flaw (using latest CVS code).

You can find the context (parts of it) below. Also, there some output...

The two beans...
	<bean id="dataControllerSupport"
class="jteam.web.controller.DataControllerSupport">
		<property name="addExtension">
			<value>add</value>
		</property>
		<property name="editExtension">
			<value>edit</value>
		</property>
		<property name="detailsViewPrefix">
			<value>details.</value>
		</property>
		<property name="listViewPrefix">
			<value>list.</value>
		</property>
		<property name="formViewPrefix">
			<value>form.</value>
		</property>
		<property name="recordHelperClass">

<value>jteam.jbosssupport.data.RecordHelper</value>
		</property>
		<property name="propertyEditorsFactory">
			<ref bean="propertyEditorsFactory"/>
		</property>
	</bean>
	<bean id="accountFormController"
class="jteam.web.controller.DataFormController">
    	<property name="dataControllerSupport">
    		<ref bean="dataControllerSupport"/>
    	</property>
        <property name="objectType">
            <value>Account</value>
        </property>
        <property name="sessionForm">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="bindOnNewForm">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="dataHelper">
            <ref external="accountHelper"/>
        </property>
        <property name="validator"><ref
bean="recordValidator"></ref></property>
        <property name="referenceData">
            <map>
                <entry key="billingAddress.country">
                    <ref external="countries"/>
                </entry>
                <entry key="companyAddress.country">
                    <ref external="countries"/>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>

The output I'm receiving when the dataControllerSupport is instantiated
(it's a Thread.dumpStack()). I've put some output at the places where
the applicationcontext is __supposed__ to be set, but it's not
outputting anything. Also, in the AbstractBeanFactory class, when
resolving references, I can't find any calls to setApplicationContext()
being done, however, afterPropertiesSet() on the depending bean _IS_
called, in which I'm relying on setApplicationContext() on the second
bean being called!!!

Anybody???
