如何找出spring托管bean的范围

Question

Is it possible to ascertain whether a bean is a prototype bean or not?

I'm hoping for a method on one of the variants of application Context like getScope or getBeanMetaData...

Answer 1

You can "ask" the BeanFactory for the BeanDefintion , it contains the scope

 @Autowired
 ConfigurableApplicationContext applicationContext;
 ...

 applicationContext.getBeanFactory().getBeanDefinition("beanName").getScope()

( getBeanFactory() is defined at ConfigurableApplicationContext which is an interface that is implemented by every concrete ApplicationContext except StubWebApplicationContext )
