title: Migrate from Spring 2.5 to 3 within an existing Axis 1.4 webservice
body: <p>I have to migrate from Spring 2.5 to 3.0.
  My web services are still running with Axis 1.4,
  with Spring 2.5 I was rather simple, every class of a service implementation extends the ServletEndpointSupport. In Spring 3.0 the ServletEndpointSupport is deprecated.</p>
  
  <p>For example: </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class PersonBindingImpl extends ServletEndpointSupport implements PersonPortType {
  
      public PersonDaten PersonQueryRequest(XPAPersonRequest request) throws RemoteException, XPAException {
              PersonsImpl persons = getWebApplicationContext().getBean("personImpl", PersonsImpl.class);
              return persons.getAllByGroup(request.getGroup());
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get the ApplicationContext in Spring 3 in such a simple way as in Spring 2.5.</p>
