+== `@SpringExtensionConfig`
+
+`@SpringExtensionConfig` is a type-level annotation that can be used to configure the
+behavior of the `SpringExtension`.
+
+As of Spring Framework 7.0, the `SpringExtension` is configured to use a test-method
+scoped `ExtensionContext`, which enables consistent dependency injection into fields and
+constructors from the `ApplicationContext` for the current test method in a `@Nested`
+test class hierarchy. However, if a third-party `TestExecutionListener` is not compatible
+with the semantics associated with a test-method scoped extension context — or if a
+developer wishes to switch to test-class scoped semantics — the `SpringExtension` can be
+configured to use a test-class scoped `ExtensionContext` by annotating a top-level test
+class with `@SpringExtensionConfig(useTestClassScopedExtensionContext = true)`.
+
+[TIP]
+====
+If your top-level test class is configured to use JUnit Jupiter's
+`@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)` semantics, the `SpringExtension` will always use a
+test-class scoped `ExtensionContext`, and there is no need to declare
+`@SpringExtensionConfig(useTestClassScopedExtensionContext = true)`.
+====
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+This annotation is currently only applicable to `@Nested` test class hierarchies and
+should be applied to the top-level enclosing class of a `@Nested` test class hierarchy.
+
+Consequently, there is no need to declare this annotation on a test class that does not
+contain `@Nested` test classes.
+====
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+xref:testing/annotations/integration-junit-jupiter.adoc#integration-testing-annotations-nestedtestconfiguration[`@NestedTestConfiguration`]
+does not apply to this annotation.
+
+`@SpringExtensionConfig` will always be detected within a `@Nested` test class hierarchy,
+effectively disregarding any `@NestedTestConfiguration(OVERRIDE)` declarations.

+TestContext framework will attempt to locate _default_ context configuration if you do

+
+However, due to a bug in the detection algorithm, default context configuration for a

+class hierarchy (for `@Nested` test classes) does not declare `@ContextConfiguration`.
+
+Beginning with Spring Framework 7.1, the TestContext framework will reliably detect
+**all** _default_ context configuration within a type hierarchy or enclosing class
+hierarchy above a given test class in such scenarios. Consequently, test suites may
+encounter issues after the upgrade to 7.1. For example, if a static nested
+`@Configuration` class in a superclass or enclosing class is ignored due to the
+aforementioned bug, after the bug has been fixed in 7.1 that `@Configuration` class will
+no longer be ignored, which may lead to unexpected beans in the resulting

-= Other Web Frameworks
-
-This chapter details Spring's integration with third-party web frameworks.
-
-One of the core value propositions of the Spring Framework is that of enabling
-_choice_. In a general sense, Spring does not force you to use or buy into any
-particular architecture, technology, or methodology (although it certainly recommends
-some over others). This freedom to pick and choose the architecture, technology, or
-methodology that is most relevant to a developer and their development team is
-arguably most evident in the web area, where Spring provides its own web frameworks
-(xref:web/webmvc.adoc#mvc[Spring MVC] and xref:web/webflux.adoc#webflux[Spring WebFlux])
-while, at the same time, supporting integration with a number of popular third-party
-web frameworks.
-
-
-[[web-integration-common]]
-== Common Configuration
-
-Before diving into the integration specifics of each supported web framework, let us
-first take a look at common Spring configuration that is not specific to any one web
-framework. (This section is equally applicable to Spring's own web framework variants.)
-
-One of the concepts (for want of a better word) espoused by Spring's lightweight
-application model is that of a layered architecture. Remember that in a "classic"
-layered architecture, the web layer is but one of many layers. It serves as one of the
-entry points into a server-side application, and it delegates to service objects
-(facades) that are defined in a service layer to satisfy business-specific (and
-presentation-technology agnostic) use cases. In Spring, these service objects, any other
-business-specific objects, data-access objects, and others exist in a distinct "business
-context", which contains no web or presentation layer objects (presentation objects,
-such as Spring MVC controllers, are typically configured in a distinct "presentation
-context"). This section details how you can configure a Spring container (a
-`WebApplicationContext`) that contains all of the 'business beans' in your application.
-
-Moving on to specifics, all you need to do is declare a
-{spring-framework-api}/web/context/ContextLoaderListener.html[`ContextLoaderListener`]
-in the standard Jakarta EE servlet `web.xml` file of your web application and add a
-`contextConfigLocation` `<context-param/>` section (in the same file) that defines which
-set of Spring XML configuration files to load.
-
-Consider the following `<listener/>` configuration:
-
-[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
----
-	<listener>
-		<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
-	</listener>
----
-
-Further consider the following `<context-param/>` configuration:
-
-[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
----
-	<context-param>
-		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
-		<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
-	</context-param>
----
-
-If you do not specify the `contextConfigLocation` context parameter, the
-`ContextLoaderListener` looks for a file called `/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml` to
-load. Once the context files are loaded, Spring creates a
-{spring-framework-api}/web/context/WebApplicationContext.html[`WebApplicationContext`]
-object based on the bean definitions and stores it in the `ServletContext` of the web
-application.
-
-All Java web frameworks are built on top of the Servlet API, so you can use the
-following code snippet to get access to this "business context" `ApplicationContext`
-created by the `ContextLoaderListener`.
-
-The following example shows how to get the `WebApplicationContext`:
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
----
-	WebApplicationContext ctx = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
----
-
-The
-{spring-framework-api}/web/context/support/WebApplicationContextUtils.html[`WebApplicationContextUtils`]
-class is for convenience, so you need not remember the name of the `ServletContext`
-attribute. Its `getWebApplicationContext()` method returns `null` if an object
-does not exist under the `WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE`
-key. Rather than risk getting `NullPointerExceptions` in your application, it is better
-to use the `getRequiredWebApplicationContext()` method. This method throws an exception
-when the `ApplicationContext` is missing.
-
-Once you have a reference to the `WebApplicationContext`, you can retrieve beans by their
-name or type. Most developers retrieve beans by name and then cast them to one of their
-implemented interfaces.
-
-Fortunately, most of the frameworks in this section have simpler ways of looking up beans.
-Not only do they make it easy to get beans from a Spring container, but they also let you
-use dependency injection on their controllers. Each web framework section has more detail
-on its specific integration strategies.
-
-
-[[jsf]]
-== JSF
-
-JavaServer Faces (JSF) is the JCP's standard component-based, event-driven web
-user interface framework. It is an official part of the Jakarta EE umbrella but also
-individually usable, for example, through embedding Mojarra or MyFaces within Tomcat.
-
-Please note that recent versions of JSF became closely tied to CDI infrastructure
-in application servers, with some new JSF functionality only working in such an
-environment. Spring's JSF support is not actively evolved anymore and primarily
-exists for migration purposes when modernizing older JSF-based applications.
-
-The key element in Spring's JSF integration is the JSF `ELResolver` mechanism.
-
-[[jsf-springbeanfaceselresolver]]
-=== Spring Bean Resolver
-
-`SpringBeanFacesELResolver` is a JSF compliant `ELResolver` implementation,
-integrating with the standard Unified EL as used by JSF and JSP. It delegates to
-Spring's "business context" `WebApplicationContext` first and then to the
-default resolver of the underlying JSF implementation.
-
-Configuration-wise, you can define `SpringBeanFacesELResolver` in your JSF
-`faces-context.xml` file, as the following example shows:
-
-[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
----
-	<faces-config>
-		<application>
-			<el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
-			...
-		</application>
-	</faces-config>
----
-
-[[jsf-facescontextutils]]
-=== Using `FacesContextUtils`
-
-A custom `ELResolver` works well when mapping your properties to beans in
-`faces-config.xml`, but, at times, you may need to explicitly grab a bean.
-The {spring-framework-api}/web/jsf/FacesContextUtils.html[`FacesContextUtils`]
-class makes this easy. It is similar to `WebApplicationContextUtils`, except that
-it takes a `FacesContext` parameter rather than a `ServletContext` parameter.
-
-The following example shows how to use `FacesContextUtils`:
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
----
-	ApplicationContext ctx = FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
----

-
-[[struts]]
-== Apache Struts
-
-Invented by Craig McClanahan, https://struts.apache.org[Struts] is an open-source project
-hosted by the Apache Software Foundation. Struts 1.x greatly simplified the
-JSP/Servlet programming paradigm and won over many developers who were using proprietary
-frameworks. It simplified the programming model; it was open source; and it had a large
-community, which let the project grow and become popular among Java web developers.
-
-As a successor to the original Struts 1.x, check out Struts 2.x or more recent versions
-as well as the Struts-provided

-== Apache Tapestry
-
-https://tapestry.apache.org/[Tapestry] is a "Component oriented framework for creating
-dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java."
-
-While Spring has its own xref:web/webmvc.adoc#mvc[powerful web layer], there are a number of unique
-advantages to building an enterprise Java application by using a combination of Tapestry
-for the web user interface and the Spring container for the lower layers.
