why do blueprint beans not allow request scope?

Hi,

Does anybody know why blueprint beans do not allow the 'request' scope.

Thanks.

The bean has scopes for singleton and prototype according to the XSD

<xsd:simpleType name="Tscope">
          <xsd:union>
               <xsd:simpleType>
                    <xsd:restriction base="xsd:NMTOKEN">
                         <xsd:enumeration value="singleton"></xsd:enumeration>
                         <xsd:enumeration value="prototype"></xsd:enumeration>
                    </xsd:restriction>
               </xsd:simpleType>
               <xsd:simpleType>
                    <xsd:restriction base="xsd:QName">
                         <xsd:pattern value=".+:.+"></xsd:pattern>
                    </xsd:restriction>
               </xsd:simpleType>
          </xsd:union>
     </xsd:simpleType>

Yes but unfortunately 'prototype' is not what I need.

I want one instance to be created per request not every time it is accessed (which is what seems to happen with prototype).

Thinking about it some more I guess one problem is what the request relates to.  For Spring I think this applies to HTTP requests but in my case I want it to be an arbitrary from of a camel route.  So maybe I would need a new request concept in blueprint and for camel to interpret it in it's own way.
