Class MergeContextLoader

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader
      org.broadleafcommerce.common.web.extensibility.MergeContextLoader

public class MergeContextLoader
extends org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader

Performs the actual initialization work for the rootId application context. Called by MergeContextLoaderListener.

Processes a "contextConfigLocation" context-param and passes its value to the context instance, parsing it into potentially multiple file paths which can be separated by any number of commas and spaces, e.g. "WEB-INF/applicationContext1.xml, WEB-INF/applicationContext2.xml". Ant-style path patterns are supported as well, e.g. "WEB-INF/*Context.xml,WEB-INF/spring*.xml" or "WEB-INF/**/*Context.xml". If not explicitly specified, the context implementation is supposed to use a default location (with XmlWebApplicationContext: "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml").

Note: In case of multiple config locations, later bean definitions will override ones defined in previously loaded files, at least when using one of Spring's default ApplicationContext implementations. This can be leveraged to deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra XML file.

Above and beyond loading the rootId application context, this class can optionally load or obtain and hook up a shared parent context to the rootId application context. See the ContextLoader.loadParentContext(ServletContext) method for more information.

Additionally, Processes a "patchConfigLocation" context-param and passes its value to the context instance, parsing it into potentially multiple file paths which can be separated by any number of commas and spaces, e.g. "WEB-INF/patch1.xml, WEB-INF/patch2.xml". Ant-style path patterns are supported as well, e.g. "WEB-INF/*Patch.xml,WEB-INF/spring*.xml" or "WEB-INF/**/*Patch.xml". The patch configuration files are merged into the above config MergeXmlConfigResource.

createWebApplicationContext

protected org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                                                                                            org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext parent)

Instantiate the rootId WebApplicationContext for this loader, either the default context class or a custom context class if specified.

This implementation expects custom contexts to implement the ConfigurableWebApplicationContext interface. Can be overridden in subclasses.

In addition, ContextLoader.customizeContext(javax.servlet.ServletContext, org.springframework.web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) gets called prior to refreshing the context, allowing subclasses to perform custom modifications to the context.

Overrides:

createWebApplicationContext in class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader

Parameters:

servletContext - current servlet context

parent - the parent ApplicationContext to use, or null if none

Returns:

the rootId WebApplicationContext

Throws:

org.springframework.beans.BeansException - if the context couldn't be initialized
