Hello All,

I'm not sure if it's just gotten too late at night and I can't think straight, but I'm having a problem getting non-singleton beans from the IoC container.

I'm still in the testing phase of my Spring learning, but I'm starting to apply it to a real project and I am running into this issue.

Here's part of my web.xml:
Code:
   <context-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value>
         /WEB-INF/dataAccessContext.xml  
         /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
      </param-value>
   </context-param> 

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>context</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderServlet</servlet-class>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>   
      
   <servlet>
      <servlet-name>ServletName</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
      <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
   </servlet>
My applicationContext.xml looks like this. (I changed the bean id and class names.)

Code:
   <bean id="beanOne" class="example.beanOne" singleton="false"/>  

   <bean id="beanTwo" class="example.beanTwo" singleton="false" init-method="init">
      <property name="beanOne">
         <ref bean="beanOne"/>
      </property>  
      <property name="dataSource">
         <ref bean="dataSource" />
      </property>       
   </bean>
I am using the Spring Web MVC and here is my ServletName-servlet.xml file:

Code:
<beans>
   
   <!-- Type of view to produce -->
   <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
      <property name="viewClass"><value>org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView</value></property>
      <property name="prefix"><value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value></property>
      <property name="suffix"><value>.jsp</value></property>
   </bean>


   <bean id="stuffController" class="example.web.StuffController">
      <property name="beanTwo">
         <ref bean="beanTwo"/>
      </property>
   </bean>
      
   

   <bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
      <property name="mappings">
         <props>
            <prop key="/showStuff.action">stuffController</prop>
         </props>
      </property>
   </bean>   
   
</beans>
I put System.out.println in the constructors of beanOne and beanTwo. I reload the page and watch the command line. I only see the constructors for beanOne and beanTwo fire off once. Each time after that I get other messages I'm outputting, but not those bean's constructors.

I haven't written any code that accesses any part of the Spring API. All the code I've written just uses my bean's methods.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
