But bear in mind that you will get a new bean for *every method call* - which is probably not what you want. The thing about prototype beans in Spring is that you get a new instance when you request the bean from the container and after that it remains the same instance. I think the only way to do it, is to expose the factory as the service, as I described here: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-How-to-create-analog-of-Spring-FactoryBean--p25349917.html The main downside I found is that you can't use the IOC container to proxy/decorate/advise the created instance. - Paul --- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
