How to reference CouchDbConnector from .xml file?

[Sal]

In the the Ektorp API Reference ( Ektorp API) towards the bottom under the heading "XML Schema-based configuration" there is the following xml config listed, 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:couchdb="http://www.ektorp.org/schema/couchdb"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
        http://www.ektorp.org/schema/couchdb http://www.ektorp.org/schema/couchdb/couchdb.xsd">

    <couchdb:database name="myDatabase" url="http://localhost:5984"/>

</beans>

How can I get the reference to this database in my class so that I can actually use it?
