Question

I used to have the following bean defined in XML (it worked!):

<bean id="session"  class="mrpomario.springcore.bean_scopes.beans.SessionBean" scope="session">
<aop:scoped-proxy/>
</bean>

Now that I try to accomplish the same configuration through Java:

    @Bean
    @Scope("session")
    @ScopedProxy
    public SessionBean session() {
        return new SessionBean();
    }

I get the following error…

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Scope registered for scope 'session'

…when I invoke session() as the argument of a setter in another bean.

Why does that happen and how do I solve it?

@ScopedProxy isn’t part of Spring’s Java configuraion. The solution is in the reference manual – use proxyMode of @Scope annotation:

@Bean
@Scope(value = "session", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public SessionBean session() {
    return new SessionBean();
}
