Currently spring object factory config is set via webwork.properties which does not enable us to use ContextLoaderServlet, it would be nice if some configuration can be configured via init-param in web.xml as such:

<filter>
<filter-name>webwork</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.opensymphony.webwork.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>webwork.objectFactory</param-name>
<param-value>spring</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>webwork</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
