Cocoon Configuration API usage - how to get running mode?

[Perez Guerrero, Antonio Javier]

Hi,

How can I read spring managed properties from Java, without defining my
classes as beans?

I've tried using org.apache.cocoon.configuration.MutableSettings, which
has all the methods that I need... But I cannot instantiate it because I
don't know how to determine the current running mode. Any ideas on how
to achieve it?

Thanks in advance
