spring Bean scopes Additional scopes in web-aware contexts

Example

There are several scopes that are available only in a web-aware application context:

• request - new bean instance is created per HTTP request
• session - new bean instance is created per HTTP session
• application - new bean instance is created per ServletContext
• globalSession - new bean instance is created per global session in Portlet environment (in Servlet environment global session scope is equal to session scope)
• websocket - new bean instance is created per WebSocket session

No additional setup is required to declare and access web-scoped beans in Spring Web MVC environment.

XML Configuration

<bean id="myRequestBean" class="OneClass" scope="request"/>
<bean id="mySessionBean" class="AnotherClass" scope="session"/>
<bean id="myApplicationBean" class="YetAnotherClass" scope="application"/>
<bean id="myGlobalSessionBean" class="OneMoreClass" scope="globalSession"/>

Java Configuration (prior to Spring 4.3)

@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {

    @Bean
    @Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_REQUEST, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
    public OneClass myRequestBean() {
        return new OneClass();
    }

    @Bean
    @Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_SESSION, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
    public AnotherClass mySessionBean() {
        return new AnotherClass();
    }

    @Bean
    @Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_APPLICATION, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
    public YetAnotherClass myApplicationBean() {
        return new YetAnotherClass();
    }

    @Bean
    @Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_GLOBAL_SESSION, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
    public OneMoreClass myGlobalSessionBean() {
        return new OneMoreClass();
    }
}

Java Configuration (after Spring 4.3)

@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {

    @Bean
    @RequestScope
    public OneClass myRequestBean() {
        return new OneClass();
    }

    @Bean
    @SessionScope
    public AnotherClass mySessionBean() {
        return new AnotherClass();
    }

    @Bean
    @ApplicationScope
    public YetAnotherClass myApplicationBean() {
        return new YetAnotherClass();
    }
}

    ...
}

@Component
@SessionScope

    ...
}

    ...
}

@Component
@Scope(scopeName = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_GLOBAL_SESSION, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public class OneMoreClass {
    ...
}

@Component
@Scope(scopeName = "websocket", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public class AndOneMoreClass {
    ...
