Overview

With the Settings4jContextLoaderListener you can configure your webapp which Spring-Configuration-Xml should be used.

Example

Example Application exists in: https://sourceforge.net/p/settings4j/code/HEAD/tree/example/example-springContextWebXml/trunk

Usage - Make SpringContext configurable

An example Configuration could look like the following:

web.xml:

 <context-param>
     <param-name>settings4jContextConfigLocation</param-name>
     <param-value>
         ${com/myCompany/myApp/appContextSecurity},
         /WEB-INF/applicationContext-otherBeans.xml
     </param-value>
 </context-param>
 
 <listener>
     <display-name></display-name>
     <listener-class>org.settings4j.helper.spring.Settings4jContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
 </listener>

With this configuration you define with tehKey teh path to your Security configuration.

Server config Example

Example Configuration in TOMCAT:

Start tomcat with -Dcom/myCompany/myApp/appContextSecurity=file:.../applicationContext-security-alwaysAdmin.xml

Or configure a JNDI Value:

TOMCAT context.xml

 <Environment name ="com/myCompany/myApp/appContextSecurity" 
              value="/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml" 
              type="java.lang.String" />

Also configuration per Preferences and SystemProperties works out of the box.

Default Values

It is recommended to use this in combination with org.settings4j.helper.web.DefaultPropertiesLoader:

web.xml

 <context-param>
     <param-name>settings4jDefaultProperties</param-name>
     <param-value>
         com/myCompany/myApp/appContextSecurity=/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml
     </param-value>
 </context-param>
 
 <context-param>
     <param-name>settings4jContextConfigLocation</param-name>
     <param-value>
         ${com/myCompany/myApp/appContextSecurity},
         /WEB-INF/applicationContext-otherBeans.xml
     </param-value>
 </context-param>
 
 <listener>
     <display-name></display-name>
     <listener-class>org.settings4j.helper.spring.Settings4jContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
 </listener>
