How can I get an application context inside a method of a Spring RestController annotated class - spring-boot

Question

I have a simple app using the #SpringBootAnnotation with a single call on the main method:
SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);
On App.java I am also defining a couple of #BeanS, which give the instance of drivers to access external services:
#Bean
public APEWebservice ape() {
return new APEWebservice(apeWebAddress + ":" + apePort);
}
Then, on the method of one of my #RestControllerS I want to make an access to these beans, so that I can make further calls to these other services, something along these lines:
#PostMapping(path="/talk", consumes = "application/json")
#ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
public Talk talk(#RequestBody InputTalk body) throws ConfigurationException {
ApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(App.class);
APEWebservice ape = context.getBean("ape", APEWebservice.class);
String DRSString = ape.getSoloOutput(input, OutputType.DRSXML);
((ConfigurableApplicationContext)context).close();
try {
Commanded transformed = Preprocessor.transform(body.getContent(), DRSString);
return new Talk(counter.incrementAndGet(), transformed.execute());
}
catch (WrongCommandException e) {
return new Talk(counter.incrementAndGet(), e.getError());
}
}
This looks very ugly, and I am certain I am completely missing the point of Spring and dependency injection. Is there a way to access the context without having to initialize it for every call to the API?
I am using SpringBoot 2.2.1

What about injecting?
#Autowired
private final APEWebservice service;
//code
#PostMapping(path="/talk", consumes = "application/json")
#ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
public Talk talk(#RequestBody InputTalk body) throws ConfigurationException {
String DRSString = service.getSoloOutput(input, OutputType.DRSXML);
