Request scoped beans accessed from servlet

[yuwi]

Hi,
I am having trouble accessing my beans (request scoped) from my servlet. What is the correct listener that I should use in my web.xml? thank you! Here's the error message.

SEVERE: StandardWrapper.Throwable
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'MyDoer': Scope 'request' is not active for the current thread; consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean if you intend to refer to it from a singleton; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.

The answer is given in the stacktrace...

 use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request

Use either...
