Calling components from java

[Robin Wyles]

Hi,
I am trying to call a cocoon component from within a Java class - is 
this possible?

From flow I use...
var my_component = cocoon.getComponent(Packages.MyComponent.ROLE);
... which works great. I have tried the following in my java class...
CocoonComponentManager manager = new CocoonComponentManager();
MyComponent my_component = (MyComponent) 
manager.lookup(MyComponent.ROLE);

- this results in  "java.lang.NullPointerException"
... when I try:
DefaultComponentManager = new DefaultComponentManager();
MyComponent my_component = (MyComponent) 
manager.lookup(MyComponent.ROLE);

I get " org.apache.avalon.framework.component.ComponentException: 
Unable to provide implementation. (key [MyComponent])"

Can anyone point me to samples of how I can access Cocoon components 
(declared in cocoon.xconf) in my java classes?

Thanks,
Robin
