In developing a plugin I came into a situation where I needed to lookup a spring bean (without injection) but wasn't sure exactly how to within the clearspace framework (version 2.5.4).  First off, the reason: I'm placing a link on the Actions tab of a community but I'm using a <when> tag in my plugin.xml to determine whether the link should be shown or not. The test is somewhat complex and is part of a Manager class.  In order to support the <when> tag I created a class with a static function that tries to lookup the Manager (which is configured as a Spring Bean) via the JiveContext.getJiveManager() function but I get the following error:

22:42:24,187 [http-8080-2] ERROR com.jivesoftware - Error loading proxy 'TestManager' for class 'com.test.impl.TestManagerImpl, returning unproxied object
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'TestManager' is defined

    at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:164)
    at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(AbstractApplicationContext.java:881)

The spring.xml file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd"
       default-destroy-method="destroy">

    <bean id="testManager" class="com.test.impl.TestManagerImpl" parent="jiveManager">
        <property name="communityManager" ref="communityManagerImpl"></property>
    </bean>

</beans>

Attached is an example of plugin and that produces the above error and is the same error given for the plugin that I'm developing.  Otherwise everything else is working with no other errors.  I have at least determined that spring is indeed creating the class. Any suggestions??
