Mule 3 and Spring MVC 3 integration

Question

I am creating a webapp with Mule 3 and Spring mvc 3, the problem is I am not able to get mule beans in spring controllers. My application context load with mule context and is not available in spring context, when I load application context in spring context then mule and spring both have different reference to a single bean. How can I get mule context in spring mvc controller so that I can refer to the same bean object. For ref my web.xml is defined below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
         id="return-label-service" version="2.5">


    <display-name>return</display-name>

   <context-param>

    </context-param>

    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener> -->

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>

    <servlet-mapping>
