Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?

[msaleh]

i am using spring 3, and i have two beans of view scope:

1- Bean1:

   @Component("bean1")
    @Scope("view")
    public class Bean1 {
    
    @Autowired
    private Bean2 bean2;
    
    }

2- Bean2:

@Component("bean2")
    @Scope("view")
    public class Bean2 {
    
    @Autowired
    private Bean1 bean1;
    
    }

the view is a custom scope:

    <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomScopeConfigurer">
    		<property name="scopes">
    			<map>
    				<entry key="view">
    					<bean class="${project.groupId}.utils.ViewScope" />
    				</entry>
    			</map>
    		</property>
    	</bean>

and here's the code for the custom view scope:

public class ViewScope implements Scope {
    
    	@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
    	public Object get(String name, ObjectFactory objectFactory) {
    		Map<String, Object> viewMap = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
    				.getViewRoot().getViewMap();
    
    		if (viewMap.containsKey(name)) {
    			return viewMap.get(name);
    		} else {
    			Object object = objectFactory.getObject();
    			viewMap.put(name, object);
    
    			return object;
    		}
    	}
    
    	public Object remove(String name) {
    		return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewMap()
    				.remove(name);
    	}
    
    	public String getConversationId() {
    		return null;
    	}
    
    	public void registerDestructionCallback(String name, Runnable callback) {
    		// Not supported
    	}
    
    	public Object resolveContextualObject(String key) {
    		return null;
    	}
    }

when opening the page that uses both beans, i get the exception:

  org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'agencyBean': Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?
    	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:252)
    	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:190)

please advise how to fix this exception.

EDIT: i tried to use the **setter injection** as referenced in the answer here

but it doesn't work too.


1- Bean1:

@Component("bean1")
    @Scope("view")
    public class Bean1 {
    
    
    private Bean2 bean2;

    @Autowired
    public void setBean2 (Bean2 bean2) {
        this.bean2= bean2;
    }
    
    }

2- Bean2:

@Component("bean2")
    @Scope("view")
    public class Bean2 {
    
    
    private Bean1 bean1;

    @Autowired
    public void setBean1 (Bean1 bean1) {
        this.bean1= bean1;
    }
    
    }

but it gives me the exception:

 org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [com.myapp.beans.Bean1] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}

You need to make it an AOP scoped proxy which it currently isn't. Add cglib to your classpath and set proxymode to class on the Scope annotation.

[msaleh]

i have cglib on classpath, so you are saying to change the scope of the beans to be proxy instead of view ?
remember that this custom view scope equivalent to view scope in jsf.

[Marten Deinum]

No I'm not saying that. In order for it to properly work you need a proxy which delegates to the view. You do that by specifying a scoped proxy (that is also the way request and session scope work in spring mvc).

[msaleh]

i need an example or reference please .

[Marten Deinum]

I already explained that basically word for word basically. Reference is here, the section for annotations is a bit lower but xml or annotations the sample applies.

@Scope("view", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
