I've also had problem with RestEasy SpringContextListener
(properties placeholders ${...}
weren't processed - RESTEASY-787, Spring java config didn't work etc.).
So it's enough to drop RestEasy SpringContextListener
and use default org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
or whatever listener you need to. You just have to define Spring bean in your Spring XML configuration like this:
<bean class="org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.spring.SpringBeanProcessorServletAware"/>
Than RestEasy should work even without their special SpringContextListener
. It works for me.
