Just to make sure this is clear, I do not mean that {{scope="request"}} means that the adaptable is a request, here "request" is in the sense of an HTTP request "lifecycle", but the adaptable could also be a resource. So I mean {{scope}} in the sense of a lifecycle or duration, like in JEE.

[~justinedelson] Regarding your proposal, do you foresee that the scope could be something else than an adaptable?

PS: regarding {{session}} and {{application}} I knew that this would be controversial but decided to leave this anyway in the issue. ;-)

> Similar to the scopes of JEE beans (http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gjbbk.html), it would be nice to have the possibility to set a scope for sling models.
> For example, a sling model instance could be reused for all the components within the same HTTP request, thus avoiding that multiple instances of the "same" model are created.
> This could be an attribute of the {{@model}} annotation, for example something like:
> {{@model(scope="request")}}
> The {{request}} scope sounds straightforward for a sling model adapted from a request.
> For models adapted from a resource, there are scenarios where the resource itself is not relevant once the model has been instantiated, so it would still be useful to be able to obtain the same model instance for different components and resources within the same HTTP request.
> We could possibly have the same scopes than the JEE beans scope: {{request}}, {{session}}, and {{application}}.
