Load jndi.xml before beans.xml - spring

Question

I have two files beans.xml and jndi.xml. We want to retrieve something in beans.xml that is put into JNDI through jndi.xml. Unfortunately, beans in beans.xml are created before jndi.xml is loaded, so when we try to do the JNDI lookup in beans.xml, nothing is in JNDI. Is there a way to get jndi.xml to be loaded before beans.xml?
beans.xml
...
<bean id="geronimoTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/UserTransaction" />
</bean>
...
jndi.xml
<beans>
<bean id="jndi"
class="org.apache.xbean.spring.jndi.SpringInitialContextFactory"
factory-method="makeInitialContext"
singleton="true">
<property name="entries" ref="jndiEntries" />
</bean>
<map id="jndiEntries">
<entry key="java:comp/UserTransaction" value-ref="geronimoTransactionManager" />
</map>
<bean id="jtaTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
<property name="userTransaction" ref="geronimoTransactionManager" />
</bean>
<bean id="geronimoTransactionManager" class="org.apache.geronimo.transaction.manager.TransactionManagerImpl" />
</beans>
Here is the log that makes me believe beans.xml is loaded before jndi.xml.

Answer 1

In jndi.xml, you should try :
<beans>
<import resource="beans.xml"/>
