Answer 1

your application could ask for new instances of prototype beans every 10 milliseconds, do something with the bean, and then let it go out of scope. If Spring had to destroy() them when the application shuts down, it would have to keep a reference to every created prototype bean, preventing them to be garbage-collected, and thus causing a memory leak.
