org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext

Packages that use ApplicationContext

org.springframework.context	This package builds on the beans package to add support for message sources and for the Observer design pattern, and the ability for application objects to obtain resources using a consistent API.
org.springframework.context.access	Helper infrastructure to locate and access application contexts.
org.springframework.context.event	Support classes for application events, like standard context events.
org.springframework.context.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.context package, such as abstract base classes for ApplicationContext implementations and a MessageSource implementation.
org.springframework.ui.context.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.ui.context package.
org.springframework.web.context	Contains the application context subinterface for web applications, and the ContextLoaderListener that bootstraps the root web application context.
org.springframework.web.context.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.web.context package, such as WebApplicationContext implementations, and a utility class for retrieval of the root application context etc.
