Is it possible to convert the following XML configuration to an annotation based one?

<bean id="myBean" class="my.package.MyBeanClass" scope="prototype" />

I'm using Spring 2.5.6.

Answer

You can use the @Scope(value = ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE) annotation.

@Service
@Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
public class CustomerService {
    // ...
}
