How to obtain a reference to a bean in a different bundle

[sudeeptoghosh]

Hi,

I am new to Spring/OSGI and the question I have is:

Is there a programmatic way to obtain the reference of a bean declared in another bundle, given I know the bean name or the class name?

I know the way to invoke a service by using BundleContext and ServiceReference when the BundleContext is obtained via BundleContextAware Interface. I don’t know how to do a similar thing when the bean is not a service.

By default spring application context was published as service, so your code could get a reference to the applicationContext and get whatever you want.

Hmmmmm....

Don't know why this didn't occur to me. Thank for your response I would try this out.
