Description

In SpringModuleDef exists private method locateExternalContext. It has
return type of ConfigurableWebApplicationContext. But its calls only
from contructor where assignment occurs to variable with type of
ApplicationContext.
It highly limits me on programmaticaly creating server context and
passing into it SpringContext without implementing
ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.
