Not sure if this is the best advice, but there is a static accessor to
get Jetspeed spring beans from the shared jetspeed-commons jar,
Jetspeed.getComponentManager().getComponent("spring-id-or-name-of-component"),
which you can call from the ServletContextListener. I prefer not to
use this method since it lets you access any spring bean whether or
not its a public service, plus it totally bypasses using the
PortletContext/jetspeed-portlet.xml. I will review this again later
and see if I can find a better way
So for the two services referenced above:
UserManager userManager = (UserManager)
Jetspeed.getComponentManager().getComponent("org.apache.jetspeed.security.UserManager");
GroupManager userManager = (GroupManager)
Jetspeed.getComponentManager().getComponent("org.apache.jetspeed.security.GroupManager");
