Method Detail

getWebApplicationContext

public static ApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext(PortletContext pc)
Find the root WebApplicationContext for this portlet application, which is typically loaded via ContextLoaderListener or ContextLoaderServlet.

Will rethrow an exception that happened on root context startup, to differentiate between a failed context startup and no context at all.

Parameters:
pc - PortletContext to find the web application context for
Returns:
the root WebApplicationContext for this web app, or null if none (typed to ApplicationContext to avoid a Servlet API dependency; can usually be casted to WebApplicationContext, but there shouldn't be a need to)

WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE

public static ApplicationContext getRequiredWebApplicationContext(PortletContext pc)
                                                           throws IllegalStateException
