How to import Java-config class into XML-config so that both contexts have beans?

by

This actually ended up being fairly simple. To get a Java-config bean definition into the xml-config, simply define the Java-config class as a bean within the XML-config. There are no extra jars necessary.

@Configuration
public class SomeJavaConfig {

    @bean
    ... [bean definition]
}

inside the XML-config, you define this class as a bean.

<!-- needed to pick up the annotated java-config -->
<context:annotation-config />

<!-- Importing java-config class, which are annotated with @Configuration -->
<bean name="SomeJavaConfig" class="[fully qualified path].SomeJavaConfig" />

The XML-config, which may be part of a different context, now has all the bean definitions defined within the JavaConfig class.
