title: Using @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class), can you access the ApplicationContext object?
body: <p>I have a Spring test that uses:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unlike the older way of testing, extending from the Spring test base classes, there appears to be no obvious way to access to the ApplicationContext that has been loaded by Spring using <code>@ContextConfiguration</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I access the <code>ApplicationContext</code> object from my test methods?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
