Question

I need a session bean accesible for service and data access layers but I don’t want inject it in every object.

I don’t want this:

 <!-- a HTTP Session-scoped bean exposed as a proxy -->
    <bean id="userPreferences" class="com.foo.UserPreferences" scope="session">

          <!-- this next element effects the proxying of the surrounding bean -->
          <aop:scoped-proxy/>
    </bean>

    <!-- a singleton-scoped bean injected with a proxy to the above bean -->
    <bean id="userService" class="com.foo.SimpleUserService">

        <!-- a reference to the proxied 'userPreferences' bean -->
        <property name="userPreferences" ref="userPreferences"/>

    </bean>

Is it posible to create a static class for retrieving the session bean of the current request?

Something like this:

 <!-- a HTTP Session-scoped bean exposed as a proxy -->
        <bean id="userPreferences" class="com.foo.UserPreferences" scope="session">

              <!-- this next element effects the proxying of the surrounding bean -->
              <aop:scoped-proxy/>
        </bean>

Public Class sessionResolver{

  public static UserPreferences getUserPreferences(){

  //Not real code!!!
  return (UserPreferences)WebApplicationContex.getBean("userPreferences")
  }

}

I’m not sure this works and I don’t have a way to try it right now, but how about this:

public static UserPreferences getUserPreferences(){

    return (UserPreferences) ContextLoader.getCurrentWebapplicationContext()
                                            .getBean("userPreferences");
}
