Question

I’m trying to understand the request scoped beans. Suppose I have a controller and I have a request scoped bean instantiated using spring config xml

<bean id="loginAction" class="com.foo.LoginAction" scope="request"/>

Do I need to add it as a dependency in controller to access it or I can access it directly from request object doing request.getAttribute(“loginAction”)

I just wanted to know how would I access this request scoped bean.

Thanks.

Use @Autowired annotation for this case.

@Autowired
private LoginAction loginAction;

and then add package for this bean as candidate for autowiring:

<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.foo"></context:component-scan>

and don’t forget to mark this class as @Component or @Service.
