Kyrill Alyoshin opened SPR-9256 and commented

I am hesitant to put it here because it is so hard to believe. But basically we have a prototype bean (marked through @Scope annotation) with a

{{
private transient SomeService service;

@Autowired
public void setSomeService() {
...
}
}}

Several of such beans are concurrently retrieved from the application context. And sporadically, but reproducibly (!), for one of them service would be null. I have removed transient modifier and I cannot reproduce it anymore...

It would be interesting to hear Juergen's comment on this. Is this even in the realm of possibility that a transient modifier could matter???
