the necessary things code , spring application context.

the application config can setup using class annotated @configuration described here. simple implemenation looks this:

@configuration @componentscan("org.example.springapp") public class springconfig {      @bean     public foo foo() {        return new foo();     }  } 

and since have war file packaging need fire spring container in servlet engine.

public class webappinitializer implements webapplicationinitializer {      public void onstartup(servletcontext container) throws servletexception {         annotationconfigwebapplicationcontext rootcontext = new   annotationconfigwebapplicationcontext();          rootcontext.register(springconfig.class);          container.addlistener(new contextloaderlistener(rootcontext));          // register , map dispatcher servlet         servletregistration.dynamic dispatcher = container.addservlet(             "dispatcher", new dispatcherservlet(rootcontext));         dispatcher.setloadonstartup(1);         dispatcher.addmapping("/");     } }
