You need to change the name of the INSTANCE scope for scoped beans to include something that identifies the scoped controller, e.g. | new ScopeKey(CommonLevels.INSTANCE, scopedController.getScopeID() + "/" name.toString()); | It should be something predictable - not hashCode(). You also need to be able to do this ahead of time in the deployers so people can populate the instance scope before controller context exists.
