If you need to create a bean for ServletContext in a XML config spring application, you could use a BeanFactory implementing ServletContextAware

public class ServletContextFactory implements FactoryBean,
            ServletContextAware{
    private ServletContext servletContext;

    @Override
    public ServletContext getObject() throws Exception {
        return servletContext;
    }

    @Override
    public Class getObjectType() {
        return ServletContext.class;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isSingleton() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
        this.servletContext = servletContext;
    }

}

You can then declare :
