AbstractReactiveWebInitializer does not property initialize ApplicationContext [SPR-16290]

[spring-projects-issues]

José María Sola Durán opened SPR-16290 and commented

I have this class to start WebFlux context in my web application:

public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractReactiveWebInitializer {
	@Override
	protected Class<?>[] getConfigClasses() {
		return Stream.of(AppConfig.class, SpringWebFluxConfig.class).toArray(size -> new Class<?>[size]);
	}
}

When start the context, I obtain this exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext@280d42a1 has not been refreshed yet

I think that the problem is in the method AbstractReactiveWebInitializer#onStartup() because not refresh context. In this previous version RELASE of Spring Framework, I use the now deprecated class AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherHandlerInitializer. This class HandlerInitializer refresh context in the method AbstractDispatcherHandlerInitializer#onStartup():

public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractReactiveWebInitializer {
	
	@Override
	public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
	String servletName = getServletName();
		Assert.hasLength(servletName, "getServletName() must not return empty or null");

		ApplicationContext applicationContext = createApplicationContext();
		Assert.notNull(applicationContext,
				"createApplicationContext() did not return an application " +
				"context for servlet [" + servletName + "]");

		refreshApplicationContext(applicationContext);
[....]

I need help you. Thanks a lot!

Also, in method AbstractReactiveWebInitializer#createApplicationContext(), you don't use context.register() in order to add the config classes when you create the AnnotationConfigApplicationContext. The code is below:

protected ApplicationContext createApplicationContext() {
		AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
		Class<?>[] configClasses = getConfigClasses();
		Assert.notEmpty(configClasses, "No Spring configuration provided.");
		return context;
	}

But, I think that the correct code is:

protected ApplicationContext createApplicationContext() {
		AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
		Class<?>[] configClasses = getConfigClasses();
		Assert.notEmpty(configClasses, "No Spring configuration provided.");
                if (!ObjectUtils.isEmpty(configClasses)) {
			context.register(configClasses);
		}
		return context;
	}

This should be resolved now. Sorry for the trouble!
