Description

Hi,

I have following problem after the changes in Spring Framework commit there]

So, at the start of the application startup there is a call of prepareRefresh(), so it works like that:

 

this.earlyApplicationListeners = new LinkedHashSet<>(this.applicationListeners);

 

and this collection is empty.

Then is CXFServlet I have addition of listener - Cxf link

 

Then it's needed to refresh the Application Context, so it provokes the refresh() at AbstractApplicationContext, then goes to prepareRefresh and then checks

this.earlyApplicationListeners == null,

but it's an empty LinkedHashSet, not null, so then it comes to

this.applicationListeners.clear(); 

 

and it removes the listener from CXFServlet, so there is no event coming to CXFServlet.

Is there any solution? Maybe it's better to change the logic of addition the listener to context?

 

I have also add the comment to spring framework issue ([Issue|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/22325])

 

Thank you!
