UserService dependency injection from portal-spring.xml

Hi,

I'd like to write a customized UserService for my portlet application. The service needs Liferay's UserService or UserLocalService. To autowire the dependencies I need a bean for it in my applicationContext. I found out that UserService is described in Liferay's portal-spring.xml, so Spring should resolve it with the following config in my web.xml (have not tried it yet):


	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>/WEB-INF/context/my-web-context.xml,classpath:my-service-context.xml,
		  classpath:portal-spring.xml</param-value>
	</context-param>
	<listener>
		<description>Spring initialization</description>
		<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
	</listener>


I think this will cause multiple contexts (the liferay context and my context). In other forum messages SpringUtil is used to retrieve the liferay context.

So what's recommend?

Regards
Dennis

Found another easy way: I used spring's factory-bean and factory-method attributes to retrieve a UserLocalService instance from UserLocalServiceFactory.getService().
