The attribute you're looking for is 'scope' on the 'bean' element:

<bean class="baz.bar.Foo" scope="prototype" />

You may have a look at the spring documentation http://static.springframework.org/sp...factory-scopes, which explains bean scopes.

The prototype scope will create a new instance of the class whenever a call to applicationContext.getBean(name) is called.

If you are injecting the prototype bean into another bean then during the creation of the referencing bean a new instance of the prototype bean will be created, That means referencing bean will always use a single instance of the prototype bean during its scope, it will not use different instances of the prototype bean.
