How does one manage object pooling in Spring?

Question

It's my understanding that in Spring, all objects are treated by default as singletons. If singleton is set to false, then a new object will be served at each request.

But what if I wanted to pool objects? Say set a range from a min of 1 to a max of 10 instances? Is this possible using Spring?

I wouldn't see how it would be any different then using it in the Summer, Fall or Winter hiyoooo.com – Handel

Pooling can be applied to any POJO with spring.

+1 I think the real work here is being done by commons-pool, but this sounds like a good way to enable it – Gymnast

This is the sort of thing that makes Spring cool - take an off-the-shelf, best-of-breed open source library, and wrap it so that you can use it the same IoC way as everything else. Sweet. – Inauspicious
