How to access a method a Spring Bean from a class not in the Spring Container

Question

I\'m not a Spring pro, so please bear with me....

I have three classes:

class SpringBeanA {
    public aMethod() {
        .....
    }
}

class SpringBea         


        

Answer 1

A simple way to do this is using ApplicationContext.getBean().

It's worth pointing out that this is considered bad practice, since it breaks inversion of control.
