If your test class extends the Spring JUnit classes
(e.g., AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests or any other class that extends AbstractSpringContextTests), you can access the app context by calling the getContext() method.
Check out the javadocs for the package org.springframework.test.

Since the tests will be instantiated like a Spring bean too  you just need to implement the ApplicationContextAware interface    RunWith SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class   ContextConfiguration locations      services-test-config xml    public class MySericeTest implements ApplicationContextAware       Autowired   MyService service           Override     public void setApplicationContext ApplicationContext context              throws BeansException                  Do something with the context here

It s possible to inject instance of ApplicationContext class by using SpringClassRule and SpringMethodRule rules  It might be very handy if you would like to use another non-Spring runners  Here s an example    ContextConfiguration classes   BeanConfiguration class  public static class SpringRuleUsage         ClassRule     public static final SpringClassRule springClassRule   new SpringClassRule          Rule     public final SpringMethodRule springMethodRule   new SpringMethodRule          Autowired     private ApplicationContext context        Test     public void shouldInjectContext
