The MessageBrokerFactoryBean must be configured as a bean in your Spring WebApplicationContext in order to bootstrap the MessageBroker. For example, the MessageBrokerFactoryBean configured in its simplest form:

<!-- Bootstraps and exposes the BlazeDS MessageBroker -->
<bean id="mySpringManagedMessageBroker" class="org.springframework.flex.messaging.MessageBrokerFactoryBean" />    	
    	

The MessageBrokerFactoryBean will look for a BlazeDS xml configuration file in its default location: /WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml. The location may be overridden using the servicesConfigPath property. The MessageBrokerFactoryBean uses Spring's ResourceLoader abstraction, so that typical Spring resource paths may be used. For example, to load the configuration from the application's classpath:

<!-- Bootstraps and exposes the BlazeDS MessageBroker -->
<bean id="mySpringManagedMessageBroker" class="org.springframework.flex.messaging.MessageBrokerFactoryBean" >
	<property name="servicesConfigPath" value="classpath*:services-config.xml" />
</bean>
