Here's an addtional point about the Spring scoping:

In Spring 1.x, it only supports singleton or prototype.

Moving in to 2.0 (not released yet), there're new scopes as quoted below.
========================================================
3.2.3. New bean scopes
Previous versions of Spring had IoC container level support for exactly two distinct bean scopes (singleton and prototype). Spring 2.0 improves on this by not only providing a number of additional scopes depending on the environment in which Spring is being deployed (for example, request and session scoped beans in a web environment), but also by providing 'hooks' (for want of a better word) so that Spring users can integrate their own scopes with (hopefully) a minimum of effort.

It should be noted that although the underlying (and internal) implementation for singleton- and prototype-scoped beans has been changed, said change is totally transparent to the end user... no existing configuration needs to change, and no existing configuration will break.

========================================================

Thanks,

Raymond

Hi Raymond,

I took a look at the implementation and have a few observations:

- It appears that a Spring application context is created for each method on a bean. Was this intentional, since I would have thought that a Spring application context would be created per composite? In other words, for a module, there would be one Spring application context with many Spring beans in it. This approach would allow an application developer to use Spring to wire their beans together. The per method approach won't allow for this type of wiring.

- The above also leads to operations being dispatched to different bean instances, which complicates Spring semantics since it also has the concept of singleton, request and session scopes where operations are routed to particular instances.

- I'm not sure we need a component type file (or at least it shouldn't be required). I believe most assembly information can be introspected from the Spring ApplicationContext, BeanContext, and BeanWrapper.

In the spec group we have started to discuss Spring integration and have taken the approach of having a Spring application context modeled as a composite. Perhaps we could align around that? I'm happy to help out so if you want to commit it to the sandbox we can look at together.

Here's a prototype which allows Tuscany consumes components implemented as a Spring bean.
