You can use this way to use spring bean in non-spring bean class

    public class ApplicationContextUtils implements ApplicationContextAware {

  private static ApplicationContext ctx;

  @Override
  public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext appContext)
      throws BeansException {
    ctx = appContext;

  }

  public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext() {
    return ctx;
  }
}

now you can get the applicationcontext object by getApplicationContext() this method.

from applicationcontext you can get spring bean objects like this:

 ApplicationContext appCtx = ApplicationContextUtils
    .getApplicationContext();
String strFromContext = (String) appCtx.getBean(beanName);
