Struts 2 and Spring 4, how to get the validator or action object from spring application context

[Alireza Fattahi]

We are using Struts 2.5 and spring 4. The struts is configured spring as 
mentioned in https://struts.apache.org/docs/spring-and-struts-2.html.

The struts `actions` and `validators` are spring managed beans and I can 
`inject` ( or `autowire`) other beans in them.

This validator is working fine which shows the validator is an spring bean:

    public class MyValidator(){

        @javax.inject.Inject
        private HelperClass aHelperClass;
    }

Now, i want to get the `MyValidator` class from spring application context and 
use it. The below codes did not worked and returned null

    applicationContext.getBean("MyValidator");
    applicationContext.getBean("foo.bar.MyValidator");

I look at `applicationContext.getBeanDefinitionNames()` but could not find the 
`validator`.

So how can I get the struts validator from spring `applicationContext`
