Issue Type: Task Assignee: Rod Widdowson ( https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=59fb32bbc24efb3c4ed3c977 ) Created: 09/May/23 6:12 AM Priority: High Reporter: Rod Widdowson ( https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=59fb32bbc24efb3c4ed3c977 )

As I was investigating https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/IDP-2099 I realized that the ApplicationContext that spring uses to load stuff is a common-or-garden GenericlApplicationContext, whereas the IdP uses a specially tailored ApplicationContext {{net.shibboleth.shared.spring.context.DelimiterAwareApplicationContext}}which embeds all sort of stuff that we need to load out configuration files correctly.

I have worked out how to make a GenericApplicationContext do enough stuff to allow me to close https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/IDP-2099 but life would be a lot better if the webflow tests used as much of the same code as the IdP - and the Application Context is an important place to start.

our AC diverges from the GAC at a fairly fundatmental lever so we cannot use any of the Loaders that Spring provide (and in the web case the AC is summoned up in an entirely separate manner unrelated to a Spring Loader (or SmartLoader).

This case is for me to bottom this out.
