This seems like such an obvious problem, I feel like I'm doing something stupid.

I have a session-scoped bean in my web appcontext, and that bean declares an @Autowired HttpSession field. I would expect the current HttpSession object to be injected into the bean every time a new session-scoped instance is created. A simple test shows that the same HttpSession object is being injected into each instance of the bean.

This woul seem to be caused by the injectionMetadataCache incide AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor, unless I am very much mistaken.

To illustrate, I've attached some example files - a simple bean class, a servlet context definition, and a web.xml

What am I missing here? Is this really a bug?
