Add support for Vaadin Touchkit and Spring in Tomcat 6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi 
I am writing a small Vaadin Touchkit App with Spring integration. I used the 
addon spring-touchkit 
(https://vaadin.com/directory#addon/spring-touchkit---addon:vaadin) which uses 
your SpringContextApplication class.

In this I had a problem to use it in tomcat 6 (tomcat 7 is fine).
So I had to patch the class SpringContextApplication to retrieve the 
servletContext in the catch Block at line 331 (Dellroad Version 1.0.592).
I attached a patch file. Maybe you could apply this to your project or add my 
changes as another try catch block.

Regards
Ansgar

Thanks.

Can you explain why the change from servletContext.getContextPath() to 
request.getContextPath() (last chunk in patch) is necessary?

Hi, 
this last change is only necessary if you have servlet api 2.3 in your 
dependencies. If you have version 2.5 in your dependencies, you don´t need 
this last change. But nevertheless it is also no problem to use request instead 
of servletContext.

for you.
