RE: [Springframework-developer] no ListableWebApplicationContext?

Rob,

there is a JdbcBeanFactory implementation already available. Check it out:

Subject: [Springframework-developer] no ListableWebApplicationContext?

Hello all,

I was looking over the Spring code and it doesn't appear as if there is
support for a ListableWebApplicationContext.  i.e. a
WebApplicationContext
that uses property files instead of XML.  Shouldn't this be added to the
framework?

The ContextLoader already supports using a parameter to select a
different
WebApplicationContext implementation, so adding
ListableWebApplicationContext support shouldn't be too difficult.  It
would
be nice if the ContextLoader were modified to try the
XmlWebApplicationContext first, and if that is not found to try the
ListableWebApplicationContext.  In that way if either of the two Spring
provided WebApplicationContexts were used they would be found
automatically.

I would like ListableWebApplicationContext support because I plan on
holding
my configuration data in a database and then have the database generate
the
property files.  It's easier to have the database write out property
files
than XML.  At the moment I don't want the properties obtained directly
from
the database.  But, now that I mention it, JdbcWebApplicationContext
support
should be added to the framework too, just to be complete.

Why would I want to do any of this?  Ah, that is the subject of a future
e-mail...  More to come.

Later
Rob
