How to inject ApplicationContext itself

Question

I want to inject an ApplicationContext itself to a bean.

Something like

public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContect context) {
         


        

Answer 1

Easy, using the ApplicationContextAware interface.

public class A implements ApplicationContextAware {
  private ApplicationContext context;

  public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext context) {
      this.context = context;
  }
}

Then in your actual applicationContext you only need to reference your bean.
