Not sure if this is a Hibernate or Spring question!

I'm using hibernate and spring in my web application. The application is working fine and I am not writing unit test (I know I should do them first!!)

As part of the testing I need to dynamically setup data so i'm trying to use the following code to obtain a bean that already has a session and persistance manager:

ApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{"WEB-INF/worldpay-servlet.xml","test-src/persistance.xml"});

as descripbed on the following page:

http://www.coyotesong.com/hibernate/110.html

but i'm getting the following error:

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Invalid application context: needs to be of type 'org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext'

The XML files are parsed, but there's no real indeication what's going wrong.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul
