[Springframework-developer] Intercepting a Prototype Bean

[MacMahon, M. <M.M...@em...>]

Hi all,	

Is it possible to apply an interceptor to a prototype bean?

The prototype is stateful - i.e one per user

I have defined the following in applicationContext.xml


<bean id="TestTarget" class="test.MyTarget" singleton="false">
</bean>


<bean id="TestInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBe
an" singleton="false">
	<property name="transactionManager"><ref
local="transactionManager"/></property>
	
	<property name="target"><ref local="TestTarget"/></property>

	
	<property name="transactionAttributes">
		<props>
			<prop key="foo">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
		</props>
	</property>
</bean>    



When I invoke the method foo I get a ClassCastException


If I change the TestInterceptor to singleton="true", it works fine but the
bean is no longer a prototype!

Is this a bug or a feature?

Any help much appreciated,


Regards,

Mark.
