Provide Access to Spring from Application

When developing with Apache Wicket, there are times when you won't be able to use wicket-spring to access your bean implementations. Here is a simple example that you can add to your Wicket Application class to make accessing the context easier

    protected void init() {
        ...
        ServletContext servletContext = super.getServletContext();
        applicationContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
        ...
    }

    private ApplicationContext applicationContext;


    public Object getBean(String name) {
        if (name == null) return null;

        return applicationContext.getBean(name);
    }
