Question

In spring, I have a lot of code that uses session beans defined like this:

@Scope(value="session", proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)

• In my webapplication all is fine, since a session scope is
  available.

• In my JUnit tests, all is also fine since i’m using a
  WebContextTestExecutionListener (link) that registers a thread
  scope for the session scope

• But when a method with @Scheduled is called, I get an exception since there is no
  session scope.

Now my question is: How can I register a thread scope for the session scope in my @Scheduled method?

I have tried something like this: beanFactory.registerScope("session", new SimpleThreadScope()); but that also overrides the session scope of my webapplication 🙁

It turned out, this question is very much related to: spring 3 scheduled task running 3 times. Since my ContextLoaderListener and DispatcherServlet were pointing at the same context config, the scopes got overridden.
