Get access to spring context from JUnit test

Question

I try to run test for spring framework. I use only the xml context. In test (JUnit) class I specify

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"springContext.xml"})
public class MyTest extends TestCase {
    @Test
    public void test() {

    }
}

but I don't know how to get access to the spring context in the @Test method? I don't can use of @Autowired annotation, because I don't use annotation driven context

I'm fairly sure you can still autowire even if your beans are only in xml, with @Autowired. It will autowire by type and name. — manyways, Jun 19 '16 at 17:33
@gowayward, it is not necessary to specify the `` in xml config? — jonua, Jun 19 '16 at 17:36

The test class is like a regular bean. So far you can use both of those in your test class:

autowire ApplicationContext
implement ContextAware interface

See How to inject ApplicationContext itself
