Hi Rickaroni, from my point of view, I always find it a little disturbing having state in my services, because from a certain point it makes things complicated.
To quote the Spring docs: "The non-singleton, prototype scope of bean deployment results in the creation of a new bean instance every time a request for that specific bean is made." So my guess is you end up having new instances with every method call because Spring will build a proxy around it and create new instances with every call. However, looking at you example I'd rather put the results of that computation in my message.
