Multiple instances of proxied bean

[multimedia]

Hey,

I have a small situation with AOP. I am trying to create a proxy for one of my beans which incidentally is a shared object that we are wiring to two other objects. Now, from what I have noticed, these two objects are getting two separate instances of the shared object even though the object itself has been defined with scope of singleton and the proxy being declared as singleton.

Is there something I am missing or is this the intended behavior of spring. I am using 2.0.1

Thanks in anticipation to all the geniuses.

It should have just one instance, can we see the configuration?

Sure.... here is the relevant portions

<bean id="sampleInterceptor" class="com.test.SampleInterceptor"/>

<bean id="nameMatchPointCut" class="org.springframework.aop.support.NameMatchMethodPointcutAdvisor">
	<property name="mappedName">
		<value>get</value>
	</property>
	<property name="advice">
		<ref bean="sampleInterceptor"/>
	</property>
</bean>

<bean id="sampleObjectTarget" class="com.test.SampleObjectImpl" scope="singleton" />
	
< bean id="sampeObect" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean" scope="singleton">
	<property name="proxyInterfaces">
		<value>com.test.SampleObject</value>
	</property>
	<property name="target" ref="sampleObjectTarget"/>
	<property name="interceptorNames">
		<list>
			<value>nameMatchPointCut</value>
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

The one thing I thought of was to try with

<bean id="sampleInterceptor" class="com.test.SampleInterceptor" scope="singleton"/>

but did not think this would make a difference.

What makes you think they are actually different instances? I would check the target to make sure you are seeing the actual object.

I say they are different objects because when i print the object to the log... say using logger.debug(sampleObect). It gives me different references at the two locations where it is supposed to be one. Plus, when I did an obj1==obj2 check it fails. where obj1 and obj2 are the wired object at first and second locations.

The other test I did was update the object in the first location and checked the value in the second.

However, when I print the beanName in either of the locations it prints the name of the same target bean.
