Finally I was able to achieve the explicit creation of an action class as a bean and got the object to be used to service requests.
The change I made was to remove the "id" attribute from the bean tag, previously I was trying to map the id with the url name of the action, which wasn't working. Now with the hit and trial I was doing, I discovered that there is no connection between the two( I was doing this cos of some stuff I had seen on some sites) So if I am specifying my bean definition in applicationContext.xml as - <bean class="com.test.LoginPage" scope="prototype"> <property name="loginName" value="Test Value"></property> </bean> And not doing anything extra in my action class, i was getting the action class wired as needed. scope="prototype" takes care of the fact that by-default all beans in spring are created with singleton as scope. Why can't they mention this on the spring plugin page? There is nothing mentioned about "How-to" in context of using annotataions using convention plugin. How can we get this added?
