WebApplicationContext ctx =   WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servlet.getServletCo ntext());
SomeBean1 someBean1 = (SomeBean1) ctx.getBean("someBean1");
SomeBean2 someBean2 = (SomeBean2) ctx.getBean("someBean2");
.................

or is there any other way ..... please help

You can create new class that implements ApplicationContextAware like below:

public class ApplicationContextProvider implements ApplicationContextAware{

    private static ApplicationContext context;

    public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext() {
        return context;
    }

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ac)
            throws BeansException {
        context = ac;
    }
}

Now you don't need to load the context each time , for getting any bean just call

ApplicationContextProvider.getApplicationContext().getBean("beanName");
