In response to the answer provided by @Ashish Chaurasia, would like to mention that the solution is partial. The class ApplicationContextUtils should also be a spring bean in order for spring to invoke the below code.

if (bean instanceof ApplicationContextAware) {
((ApplicationContextAware) bean).setApplicationContext(ctx); 
}

@Component at the top of the class would make the solution complete. Also, there is one more alternative of doing it with the @Autowired annotation.

@Component
public class ApplicationContextProvider {
    private static ApplicationContext context;

    public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext() {
        return context;
    }

    @Autowired
    public void setContext(ApplicationContext context) {
        ApplicationContextProvider.context = context;
    }
}

The getBean method can now easily be accessed by -

ApplicationContextProvider.getApplicationContext().getBean("myBean");
