lookup-method w/ annotations?

[hozo]

Is there currently a way to do lookup method injection with annotations or some way to create/get a new prototype instance inside a singleton bean?

something like this except with annotations

All you need to do is create a default implementation and annotate it with @Scope("prototype")

See: http://static.springframework.org/sp...scope-resolver

If you also annotate it with @Component, then the only thing you need to add to your Spring context is <context:component-scan base-package="com.mycompany" /> and Spring will find and add your prototype implementation.

That alone won't work. It would only get you 1 instance of prototype per singleton. Figured it out, have to configure the scope proxy, although the <context: scoped-proxy> attribute doesn't seem to proxy prototypes by default, only session/request.
