Question

I’m trying to do this (code) in old school xml.

@Bean
    @Scope(value="request", proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.INTERFACES)   
    public MyInterface createInterface() {
        return connectionRepository().getPrimaryConnection(MyInterface.class);
    }

I’ve tried to do this:

    <bean id="myBean" class="a.b.c.MyInterface"
        factory-bean="myFactory" factory-method="create"
        scope="request">
        <constructor-arg value="a.b.c.MyInterface"></constructor-arg>
        <aop:scoped-proxy proxy-target-class="false"/>
    </bean>

But i got:

Cannot convert value of type [$Proxy12 implementing java.io.Serializable,org.springframework.aop.scope.ScopedObject,org.springframework.aop.framework.AopInfrastructureBean,org.springframework.aop.SpringProxy,org.springframework.aop.framework.Advised] to required type [a.b.c.MyInterface] for property ‘myBean’: no matching editors or conversion strategy found

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Here is how i finally got it working. skaffman was digging really close:

<bean id="factory"
    class="a.b.c.Factory"
    scope="request">
</bean>

<bean id="facebook" class="a.b.c.MyInterface"
    factory-bean="factory" factory-method="createObject"
    scope="request">
    <aop:scoped-proxy proxy-target-class="false"/>
</bean>
