Initialization callbacks on non singleton objects

[AndreasBaumann]

i'm trying to use a initialization callback in a prototype scoped object.
Unfortunately when i'm doing this, Spring AS initializes the object at container startup and calls the init method.

When the object get's Autowired, a new instance is created, but the init method isn't called.

Do you know how to get Spring AS to call my init method each time it creates a new instance?

My object configuration:
<object id="browserDialogPM"
class="de. ... .BrowserDialogPM" scope="prototype">
<property name="historyService" ref="historyGadgetPM"/>
<method-invocation name="init"/>
</object>

ok, ok, found a solution by myself - this works a intended:

<object id="browserDialogPM"
class="de. ... .BrowserDialogPM" scope="prototype" init-method="init">
<property name="historyService" ref="historyGadgetPM"/>
</object>

Seams as if the documentation is not correct st this point, the both ways are described as "...is exactly the same as..."

Hey Andreas,

what you're dealing here with is, in fact, a bug:

http://jira.springframework.org/brow...IONSCRIPTAS-43

If things are going according to plan this will be fixed in the upcoming v0.8.1 release.

cheers,
