Spring Scope annotation value

Question

Does the Spring framework provide String constants to replace the "prototype" string literal value in the example annotation below?

@Service @Scope("prototype") public class CustomerService  { ...... } 

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use the scope constants from Spring's BeanDefinition:

• SCOPE_SINGLETON
• SCOPE_PROTOTYPE

E.g.

@Scope(BeanDefinition.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
