IdGeneratorConfigurer causes 'Context initialization failed'

[Cleric]

Yes, Dennis, it does.
I understand getBeansOfType code.

I want to say you're going to catch the same problem with any other invokes of this method not only on IdGeneratorConfigurer.
We can simply fix it for you as allowEagerInit = false, but where are the guarantees that evething will be OK in many features of other frameworks...

You are right, I know, it is a problem that we have corrupt beans in our project, from time to time... But I can't avoid it in this big project...

My thinking was: In the other cases if I use a framework-method and run into this problem, I could/must handle this problem. But in this case here, I doesn't invoke anything... The framework does and I can't even startup my application.

I don't know, and yes, perhaps it is a chance to clean up the project and to enforce more attention by my collegues

Ultimately, if you have invalid configuration, it's going to result in an error at some point. It just happens that the IdGeneratorConfigurer is the first thing trying to initialize beans as defined within your context.

I know and try to convince my team.
