Accessing Spring beans in JerseyTest

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to access Spring beans from a subclass of JerseyTest. Extending JerseyTest I've managed to load the Spring context in my tests, but I haven't figured out how to access the spring context. My setup looks like this:

public abstract class SpringJerseyTest extends JerseyTest {
    public SpringJerseyTest() throws Exception {
        super(new WebAppDescriptor.Builder("com.acme.resources")
            .contextPath("/")
            .contextParam("contextConfigLocation", "classpath:applicationContext.xml")
            .servletClass(SpringServlet.class)
            .contextListenerClass(ContextLoaderListener.class)
            .build());
    }

}

The setup is using the default Grizzly Web Container. I've never used Grizzly before, but in Jetty I would do something like this:

    public Object getSpringBean(String beanName) {
        WebAppContext context = (WebAppContext) server.getHandler();
        ServletContext sc = context.getServletContext();
        WebApplicationContext applicationContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(sc);
        return applicationContext.getBean(beanName);
    }

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I am using a naive approach but works

public ResourceIT()
    {
        super(new WebAppDescriptor.Builder("amazingpackage")
                .servletClass(SpringServlet.class)
                .contextParam("contextConfigLocation", "classpath:/spring/context.xml")
                .contextListenerClass(ContextLoaderListener.class)
                .contextPath("context")
                .build());
        injectedBean = ContextLoaderListener
                .getCurrentWebApplicationContext().getBean(InjectedBean.class);
    }

Been using the solution described here for a week, and it's working fine.
