All context files depend on the component-scan option. The Application context gets loaded from my Swing app.

Today, webservices are used primarily to expose some services of an application to the outside world. There are a lot of tools available to consume webservices. Tools like Mule, Axis and Spring.
This article describes a method of exposing Java services as webservices. The technique’s / tools used to accomplice this are; Java, Spring and Castor.
There are many other tools available, like Axis, to expose java services as webservices. The reason I used Spring and Castor is the simplicity in creating webservices. Spring takes care of all boilerplate coding and Castor’s mapping capability takes care of the Object <-> XML mapping without the need to generate any java objects the way Axis does. This way you have clean java code, supported with configuration in Spring and a clean Castor mapping to expose your service as a webservice.
