Description

Tapestry-spring currently requires that the context class extends TapestryApplicationContext. In order to use JavaConfig support (without going through an intermediate spring xml file), you would have to use AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext as a base class and add the tapestry features on top (like TapestryApplicationContext does). Unfortunately that's impossible, as TapestryApplicationContext is not an interface.
