Tom Ziemer opened SPR-9580 and commented

When injecting a prototype bean into a test derived from AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests using @Resource, it seems that the bean is only created once.
Prior to Spring 3.1.2 this was not the case, the framework provided a new instance for each test run.

As a workaround, I now use @Autowired + @Qualifier.

The attached project uses a unit test to show the problem. Changing the Spring version to 3.1.1-RELEASE (or lower) in the pom fixes the issue.

Affects: 3.1.2
