Here is what I'm trying to do: ColdspringConfig.xml <beans>     <bean id="ArticleService" class="model.services.ArticleService">         <property name="ArticleGateway"><ref bean="ArticleGateway" /></property>         <property name="LocationGateway"><ref bean="LocationGateway" /></property>     </beans>     <bean id="LocationService" class="model.services.LocationService">         <property name="LocationGateway"><ref bean="LocationGateway" /></property>     </beans>     <bean id="LocationGateway" class="model.gateways.LocationGateway">        <property name="TimedCache"><ref bean="TimedCache" /></property>     </beans>     <bean id="ArticleGateway" class="model.gateways.ArticleGateway">        <property name="TimedCache"><ref bean="TimedCache" /></property>     </beans>     <!-- this is based on the mg:u timed cache -->     <bean id="TimedCache" class="model.utils.TimedCache" singleton="false" /> </beans> So this is what I'm trying to accomplish.  I would like to inject an instance of the TimedCache cfc into each of these gateways.  When I do this, it seems as though there is only one instance of the TimedCache, which they both seem to be sharing.  The TimedCache is stored in the variables scope of each gateway.  Originally I intended for each gateway to get its own instance, but I can't seem to get this to work.  This only seems to happen if I include both gateways in a single service.  Again, each is stored in the variables scope.  If I remove the references to say the locationgateway from the article service, each TimedCache seems to work as intended.  Am I misunderstand how this should work?  Or do I have a programming error? Thanks for your input! Andrew haven't tried this or many I'm not understanding how the bug works exactly... <beans>     <bean id="ArticleService" class="model.services.ArticleService">         <property name="ArticleGateway"><ref bean="ArticleGateway" /></property>         <property name="LocationGateway"><ref bean="LocationGateway" /></property>     </beans>     <bean id="LocationService" class="model.services.LocationService">         <property name="LocationGateway"><ref bean="LocationGateway" /></property>     </beans>     <bean id="LocationGateway" class="model.gateways.LocationGateway">        <property name="TimedCache"><bean id="TimedCacheForLocationGateway" class="model.utils.TimedCache" /></property>     </beans>     <bean id="ArticleGateway" class="model.gateways.ArticleGateway">        <property name="TimedCache"><bean id="TimedCacheForArticleGateway" class="model.utils.TimedCache" /></property>     </beans> </beans> -- Peter J.
