Spring Cloud Config Bootstrap beans got refreshed although they are not with @refresh-scope

I created a CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration in order to access the Cloud Config service in the client side. I also need to access another bean in the CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration and I added also this bean to the spring.factories file.

I've noticed that when the actuator refresh is called all the beans that are in the spring.facatories org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration are refreshed but they are not @refreshscoped beans. This is not the behaviour I was expecting. Any idea? I read that - /actuator/refresh to re-load the boot strap context - but it means that those beans are refreshed on every call to /actuator/refresh. Is there a way to make those beans behave like Singletons? so they wont be refreshed? Unless there is another way, instead of using the solution of writing a bean with an implementation of PropertySourceLocator and point to it in the spring.factories file, that doesn't involve the bootstrap enablement. I didn't find such way in your documentation

CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration class:

@Configuration
public class CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    SecretHandler secretHandler;

    @Value("${auth.service.url}")
    private String authServiceUrl;
    @Bean
    public ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator configServicePropertySourceLocator(ConfigClientProperties clientProperties, TokenManager tokenManager) {
        ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator configServicePropertySourceLocator = new ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator(clientProperties);
        configServicePropertySourceLocator.setRestTemplate(restTemplate(tokenManager));
        return configServicePropertySourceLocator;
    }


    public RestTemplate restTemplate(TokenManager tokenManager) {
        return new RestTemplateBuilder()
                .interceptors(new CloudConfigInterceptor(tokenManager))
                .build();
    }

    @Bean
    JWTFeignTokenProvider jwtFeignTokenProvider(){
        //TODO take the clientId & clientSecret  from vault
        String blabla = secretHandler.getSecret("blabla");
        return new JWTFeignTokenProvider("springboot-no-ui-tests",
                "hwcfEr", authServiceUrl);

    }
    @Bean
    TokenManager tokenManager(JWTFeignTokenProvider jwtFeignTokenProvider){
        return new TokenManager(jwtFeignTokenProvider);
    }
}

spring.factories:

org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration = com.test.VaultConfiguration,\
  com.test.PropertiesSecretConfiguration,\
  com.test.configuration.vault.VaultSecretsMapperConfiguration,\
 com.test.bootstrap.configuration.RoleConfig,\
  com.test..application.StageRoleConfig, \
 com.test.application.ProductionRoleConfig, \
 com.test.bootstrap.configuration.CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration

So it means that if I want to use beans in the Bootstrap and I want them to be singletons- because I don't want them to be refreshed. I have to create the singleton on my own? for example:

@Configuration
public class CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration {

    private static ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator configServicePropertySourceLocator;


    @Value("${auth.service.url}")
    private String authServiceUrl;

    @Bean
    public ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator configServicePropertySourceLocator(ConfigClientProperties clientProperties) {
        if(configServicePropertySourceLocator==null) {
            configServicePropertySourceLocator = new ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator(clientProperties);
            configServicePropertySourceLocator.setRestTemplate(restTemplate());
        }
        return configServicePropertySourceLocator;
    }
    private RestTemplate restTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplateBuilder()
                .interceptors(new CloudConfigInterceptor())
                .build();
    }
}

Since the bootstrap context is reinitialized all the bootstrap beans would need to be recreated as well
