在Maven多模块项目中，如何从一个模块到另一个模块访问spring bean

Question

I have a maven multi-module application as below

parent
-+ module 1
-+ module 2
-+ module 3

Module 2 and module 3 are seperate jars and added as depencency in module 1.

All the modules have application-context assigned to it.

I need to get the spring beans from module 3 and module 2 to module 1.

Please help

Answer 1

in case you are using spring with xml configuration files you should import module 2 and module 3 application-context files in the module 1 application-context like below :

<import resource="classpath*:file/location/module1application-context.xml" />
<import resource="classpath*:file/location/module2application-context.xml" />
