Polygene™ supports that Spring Application Context is imported into the Polygene™ runtime, and the declared Spring beans will be available as Polygene™ services. The most important things to remember are;

new SpringImporterAssembler( appContext ).assemble( module );

It is also possible to run a Polygene™ Application as a Spring Bean and export its Services to Spring.

Steps to export Polygene™ service:

To bootstrap the Polygene™ runtime in Spring, you should have a bootstrap bean that extends the org.apache.polygene.library.spring.bootstrap.PolygeneApplicationBootstrap and implement the org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware.

A new bean will appear in the application context, called "polygeneApplication" which is only intended for internal use of this library.

Example application context;

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  <!-- class that implements PolygeneApplicationBootstrap -->

  <polygene:bootstrap class="org.hedhman.niclas.MyPolygeneBootstrapper"/>

  <bean id="someService" class="org.hedhman.niclas.SomeService">

 </bean>

public class MyPolygeneBootstrapper extends PolygeneApplicationBootstrap
        implements ApplicationContextAware
{
    private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Override
    public void assemble(ApplicationAssembly assembly) throws AssemblyException
    {
        // Normal assembly of an application.
          [...snip...]

    }

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException
    {
        this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
    }

}
