Dave, When you say "I define it by name in applicationContext.xml", what do you mean? I tried following the documentation where they instruct to place the name of the Spring bean in class attribute for the action definition in the struts.xml. I assume this is what you are doing as well, correct? I too am using the prototype attribute in the Spring action bean definitions, as weill as the lazy-init=true . I should have mentioned, I am currently I was using 2.0.5 and upgraded to 2.0.6 trying to find a workaround to the issue. I got a hold of the struts and xworks code. Looks like the instantiation of the action beans is initiated from the initialization of the Struts 2 FilterDispatcher defined in the web.xml. It appears this is the normal course of getting Struts 2 initialized. The interesting thing is that the only purpose of this bean instantiation is to get a hold of the implementation class to verify that it has a no arg constructor and that it is public. Couldn't this verification be done wihtout actually instatiating the bean and only examining the metadata or, more simply skipped and allow for the problem to surface when the action is actually called (maybe via a configuration parameter)?
