Like I already written - when a bean is installed, register it into mbeanserver or jndi, and then pull it out in servlet. Or you can always do a singleton approach - with setting underyling Kernel to static field, and accessing it later. This is how JBossWS is doing it - look for KernelLocator. As you could see, there is no binding layer yet on top of MC that would make things easier - but this is what JBoss Seam is about. We are looking into providing Seam + Microcontainer integration.
