Scoped WebApplication Beans

I would like to be able to have scoped beans for Alfresco WebApplication Context from a servlet (not faces). 

In order to get it to work I had to do the following:

In the web.xml, add the following:

<web-app>
  …
  <listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
  </listener>
  …
</web-app>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In my module-context.xml, add the following (Note I added 2.0 to my DOCTYPE):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN"
        "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd">
<beans>
…
   <bean id="PageRequestState" class="com.tlhc.wc.website.PageRequestState" scope="request" >
    …
   </bean>
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and get the bean with the following:

      WebApplicationContext wc = RequestContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(request, sc);
      PageRequestState prs =  (PageRequestState)wc.getBean(PageRequestState.PAGE_REQUEST_STATE);
‍‍‍

It works but I am surprised Alfresco does not already support it.  Am I missing something?  I realized you can do it in the Faces Container, but I need to be able to scope my beans it from a servlet.

nobody from Alfresco can answer this question?
