Java Beans created over and over again

[vinaya]

Hi,

have the confg.xml as follows

	<bean id="applicationBean"
		class="com.framework.view.common.bean.ApplicationBean"
		scope="session" >
	</bean>

As this is in session, should this not be created only once for a user/session?
I have more than one object of this being created

My ApplicationBean is as follows

public class ApplicationBean extends BaseBean {
	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 4238807744322271127L;
	private String appTitle;
	@SuppressWarnings("unused")
	private String pageTitle;
	@SuppressWarnings("unused")
	private String currentPage="login.faces";
	// the logger for this class
	private Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass());
	HtmlInputHidden title;
	HtmlInputHidden searchString;
	
	

	/**
	 * Default Constructor.
	 * 
	 * @throws FacesException
	 *             If internal error occurs while retrieves categories
	 */
	public ApplicationBean() {
		super();
		this.logger.debug("ApplicationBean is created");
		
	}




	public String getAppTitle() {
		return appTitle;
	}




	public void setAppTitle(String appTitle) {
		this.appTitle = appTitle;
	}




	public String getPageTitle() {
		return title.getValue().toString();
	}
	
	public  String getStrSearch(){
		return searchString.getValue().toString();
	}




	public void setPageTitle(String pageTitle) {
		this.pageTitle = pageTitle;
	}




	public HtmlInputHidden getTitle() {
		return title;
	}


	public void setTitle(HtmlInputHidden title) {
		this.title = title;
	}




	public HtmlInputHidden getSearchString() {
		return searchString;
	}




	public void setSearchString(HtmlInputHidden searchString) {
		this.searchString = searchString;
	}


	

	
}

The BaseBean extends ConObject
Base Bean is as follows

public  class BaseBean extends ConObject implements IBaseBean, Serializable {

	/**
	 * This bean is the parent of all view beans that represent a model object
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = -172442932994218985L;
	/**
	 * When a row is changed in an updatable
	 * grid this value is stored in the change row field
	 */
	public static final  String CHANGE="CHANGE";
	/**
	 * When a row is inserted into an updatable
	 * grid this value is stored in the change row field
	 */
	public static final  String NEW="NEW";
	/**
	 * When a row is marked for delete in an updatable
	 * grid this value is stored in the change row field
	 */
	public static final  String DELETE="DELETE";

	
	/**
	 * This is the property for the heading select box
	 */
	protected boolean selectAll = false;
	/**
	 * This is the select box on each row
	 */
	protected boolean rowsSelect = false;
	/**
	 * This field stores the row status CHANGE NEW DELETE and "" 
	 * when no changes have occurred 
	 * the default value =""
	 */
	private String changeRow="";
	
	
	public Boolean[] viewed={false,false,false,false,false};
	protected boolean showToggle=false;
	public List<String> valErrorList;
	public String scratchPad;
	
	public BaseBean() {
			init();
	
	}
	



	protected void init() {
	}


	public void runInit() {
		this.init();
	}
	
	
}

ConObject is

public class ConObject {
	protected static JdbcLogError execLogError;
	protected Date today = AppUtils.getSysdate();
	protected String executionTime;
	protected FacesContext fc;
	protected ExternalContext ctx;
	protected String message;
	protected String statusMessage;
	protected boolean showMessage;
	protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass());
	protected Date now=new Date();
	protected String returnPath;
	protected ServletContext context;
	protected ApplicationContext appContext;
	private boolean collapsed;

	
	protected String returnAction;
	
	public ConObject() {
		super();
		fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
		ctx = fc.getExternalContext();
		context = FacesUtils.getServletContext();
    	appContext= WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(context);
    
	
	}

	
	

	
	public ApplicationContext getAppCtx() {
		ServletContext context = FacesUtils.getServletContext();
		return WebApplicationContextUtils
				.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(context);
	}




}

Is there any issue with this?

Thanks

I suggest the reference guide. Simply slapping scope="session" on there isn't going to be enough, you will also have to include the <aop:scoped-proxy />.
