Re: [Springframework-developer] Re-injecting transient references upon deserialization...

[Michael Y. <yo...@gm...>]

I personally think the most intuitive approach is to use
<aop:scoped-proxy/>.  Scoped-proxy provides this very functionality
for request and session beans.  I think it should extended into
prototype and singleton beans.  The trick is the proxy needs to be
able to obtain access to an applicable application context after being
serialized.

I created an issue to hopefully address this missing bit of functionality.

http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-2121

In the issue I put forth the idea of possibly being able to optionally
provide a BeanFactoryLocator to the scoped-proxy so that singleton and
prototype proxies will know where to obtain a reference from a valid
BeanFactory even after serialization.  I hope to try and provide a
patch in a couple of weeks.
