Fixing BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException on Spring proxy cast on a non-singleton bean?

Question

I\'m having an issue with pulling a Spring bean from an application context.

I had the same problem:

This is just a guess, but try making an interface InnerThreadInterface, then let InnerThread class extend it. After that you should be able to do:

I use this way instead of what is posted above and it worked fine. There was no need of setting the proxy-target-class to true, this required more libraries that wasn't on my classpath.

InnerThreadInterface inner = (InnerThreadInterface)ctx.getBean("innerThread");
