general proxy/interceptor questions...

[gemini929]

If I were to define a BeanNameAutoProxyCreator like this:

    <bean name="myServiceProxyCreator" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
        <property name="beanNames" value="*Service"/>
        <property name="interceptorNames">
            <list>
                <value>performanceMonitoringInterceptor</value>       
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

Does the same instance of the bean "performanceMonitoringInterceptor" get used in each proxy that gets created? Is this driven by how my performanceMonitoringInterceptor bean is configured by spring (id isSingleton=false)?

If your performanceMonitoringInterceptor is defined as 'prototype' then a different instance is used in each proxy that is created. BeanNameAutoProxyCreator uses getBean() method from BeanFactory to get the interceptors.
