FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance ()) returns null

Question

I use Spring, Hibernate and JSF.

To get a bean from the application context, I write:

public static Object findBean(String name) {
  return FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()).getBean(name);
 }

However, it FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance())returns null, so calling getBean()on it callsNullPointerException

Does anything need to be defined somewhere?

EDITED

I need to get bean from application context, not jsf bean

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()returns nullif you are not in the request being processed FacesServlet. Make sure that you are processing the request submitted through this servlet.
