how to inject a prototype into a sigleton with annotations.

[smadarapu]

I have a "singleton" bean and i have a "session" bean. I need to autowire the "session" bean into the "singleton" bean. I know how to do this using the XML configuration. I don't know how to do the same using annotations (similar to using aop-proxy). I am using spring 2.5.6.SEC01.

Both the beans are annotated appropriately.

Please let me know how can i do this or point me to appropriate document that explains it.

Thanks

FYI:
I have marked my prototype bean with @Scope("session"), @Service annotations.

In my singleton service (which is marked with @Service annotation) has a setter, that takes the parameter of type of the session bean, and has been marked with @Autowired annotation.

can anybody answer if it is possible or not?

I know with Spring 3 you can use either:

@Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_SESSION, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.INTERFACES)

or:

@Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_SESSION, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)

INTERFACES works if the bean implements an interface, and creates a JDK dynamic proxy. TARGET_CLASS will work without the bean implementing an interface, and creates a CGLIB proxy.

I don't know if this will work with Spring 2.5.6.
