Spring Support @Autowired HttpServletResponse in request-scoped beans

Affects: 5.2.0.RELEASE

The following should work for request scoped beans:

    @Component
    @RequestScope
    public class RequestScopeBean {
        @Autowired HttpServletRequest request;
        @Autowired HttpServletResponse response; // <-- error
    }

Sorry it took us so long to respond.

I've just tested this against supported version and it works. I think this was introduced in #16416. Note that you'll need to ensure that the scoped bean is injected in a way that Spring can use proxying. Maybe the injection point was invalid in your case?

I'm closing this issue as a result.
