I have a User class:

@Component
@Scope("session")
public class User {
    private String username;
}

And a Controller class:

@Controller
public class UserManager {
    @Autowired
    private User user;

    @ModelAttribute("user")
    private User createUser() {
        return user;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/user")
    public String getUser(HttpServletRequest request) {
        Random r = new Random();
        user.setUsername(new Double(r.nextDouble()).toString());
        request.getSession().invalidate();
        request.getSession(true);
        return "user";
    }
}

I invalidate the session so that the next time i got to /users, I get another user. I'm expecting a different user because of user's session scope, but I get the same user. I checked in debug mode and it is the same object id in memory. My bean is declared as so:

    <bean id="user" class="org.synchronica.domain.User">
        <aop:scoped-proxy/>
    </bean>

I'm new to spring, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. I want one instance of User for each session. How?
