spring - forcing cglib proxies for @Autowired fiel

I have mixed stack: EJB and Spring. For autowiring Spring to EJBs I use SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor (not sure if that could affect the problem I have).

Whlie trying to autowire beans in a following way:

@Scope(proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS, value="singleton")
@Repository
public class ClassA imlpements IfA {
    ...
}


@Scope(value="singleton")
@Repository
public class ClassB {
    @Autowired
    private ClassA classA;

    ...
}

I get error:

Could not autowire field: private ClassA ClassB.classA; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set ClassA field ClassB.classA to com.sun.proxy.$Proxy257. Please see server.log for more details.

As far as I've understood, the problem is that JDK proxies are used (as ClassA implements interface IfA), while I'd need cglib ones.

But I don't get it. Based on the docs, the annotation: @Scope(proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS, should do the job here.

Well and it's not an option for me to use interfaces (as a field type).

Any idea how to force cglib proxying here?

EDIT:

Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm running glassfish 3.1.x.

And stacktrace (partial, as I can't expose all the class names here:

You should not use aop scoped proxies for singletons.

Use <aop:aspectj-autoproxy proxy-target-class="true" /> or @EnableAspectJAutoProxy(proxyTargetClass=true) in your spring configuration file or class to force cglib proxies.
