@Scope(“prototype”) bean scope not creating new bean

Scope prototype means that every time you ask spring (getBean or dependency injection) for an instance it will create a new instance and give a reference to that.

In your example a new instance of LoginAction is created and injected into your HomeController . If you have another controller into which you inject LoginAction you will get a different instance.

If you want a different instance for each call – then you need to call getBean each time – injecting into a singleton bean will not achieve that.
