RE: UserService dependency injection from portal-spring.xml

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

UserService dependency injection from portal-spring.xml

2008-02-18T16:57:32Z

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?
