AnnotationConfigApplicationContext and parent context

Question

I\'m facing an issue trying to define a context hierarchy using AnnotationConfigApplicationContext.

The problem is when defining a module context insid

Answer 1

What I did was the following:

BeanFactoryLocator locator = ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator.getInstance("classpath:beanRefContext.xml");
BeanFactoryReference parentContextRef = locator.useBeanFactory("ear.context");
ApplicationContext parentContext = (ApplicationContext) parentContextRef.getFactory();
childContext.setParent(parentContext);

And guess what, it worked :)

PS: If anyone knows how to replace the classpath:beanRefContext.xml with an @Configuration class, please let us all know.
