Review the following section in the attached sample.

String[] ctxLocations = {"lib/applicationContext.xml"};

OsgiBundleXmlApplicationContext ctx = new OsgiBundleXmlApplicationContext(ctxLocations);

                BundleContext bundleContext = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(this.getClass()).getBundleContext();

                ctx.setBundleContext(bundleContext);

                ctx.refresh();

                 BeanFactory factory = (BeanFactory) ctx;

                 HelloWorld bean =  (HelloWorld) factory.getBean("helloWorld", HelloWorld.class);

If the Spring configuration is part of an external JAR file, the context loading can be modified. A screenshot from Studio is attached for clarity (Filename: spring.png).

         String[] ctxLocations = {"classpath*:**/applicationContext*.xml"};

Note that this is a known issue with Spring integration in BW 6.3.1(AMBW-22073) due to Java being upgraded to 1.8 .
