We have a Web Application exposing both Web Resources (REST) and JMS MessageListener. Spring is the framework used to define and inject beans.
We defined beans in the scope "request" to store information usable for Web Resources. We would like to use those beans also in the JMS MessageListener, but the "request" scope does not exist and cause an exception.
One solution of this problem is to use a custom scope of type "thread" as implemented with the "SimpleThreadScope" of Spring. But the destruction of the beans is not implemented in this class. I know there is a way to implement this with the "Spring custom scope thread by example", but I prefer letting the Application Server manage the thread pool.
Do you have any other idea/suggestion about this issue?
Important aspect: the beans created in the scope are used as by resources as well as by JMS Message Listener.
Let's take an example. Imagine we have the following classes:
- Class BeanInScope1
- Class WebResource1
- Class Service1
- Class MessageListener1
The "Service1" uses the "BeanInScope1", and the "Service1" can be called either by "WebResource1" or by "MessageListener1", meaning that the "BeanInScope1" msut be created in the same way by "WebResource1" and "MessageListener1".
Hope this example shall help...
