Using Spring ApplicationContext from my scripted datasource [message #263673]

Hi all,

We use the Birt Viewer ((J2EE App/Plugin). In our reports we use
scripted datasets. From the scripted datasets we would like to acces the
Spring application context in order to retrieve the data from the Spring
beans.

What would be a good way to do this?

Kind Regards,
Erik

Add the Spring libraries and configuration files to the viewer's
classpath (WEB-INF/lib) and use Spring as usually.

A scripted datasource is an ordinary Java class. You can call the spring
application context in the following way:

ApplicationContext context =
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/applicationContext.xml");

or in any other way you prefer.

The most important thing is to set the classpath correctly.
