initialization error: circular reference

[wglass]

Hi,

I'm getting a weird init error. Oddly, when I deploy my app on some servers it works fine, but on one linux server it's failing. I'm running Tomcat 6.0 and JDK 1.6 in all cases.

The error:

2010-03-09 15:03:28 ERROR Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userSimulationTagService': Bean with name 'userSimulationTagService' has been injected in
to other beans [simulationService] in its raw version as part of a circular reference, but has eventually been wrapped. This means that said other beans do not use the final version of the
 bean. This is often the result of over-eager type matching - consider using 'getBeanNamesOfType' with the 'allowEagerInit' flag turned off, for example.

This refers to auto wiring, excerpted here:

Service("simulationService")
public class SimulationServiceImpl implements SimulationService
{
    @Autowired
    SecurityService securityService;

    @Autowired
    UserSimulationTagService userSimulationTagService;

The UserSimulationTagService doesn't have any circular references that I can see -- it refers to DAO objects:

@Service("userSimulationTagService")
public class UserSimulationTagServiceImpl implements UserSimulationTagService
{

	@Autowired
	transient UserSimulationTagDao userSimulationTagDao;

	@Autowired
	transient SimulationTagDao simulationTagDao;
	
	@Autowired
	SimulationDao simulationDao;

Any suggestions? I'm stumped.

Hi !

Did you solved your problem ? I've got exactly the same situation - also on dao's btw - and nobody finds where the circular dependencies are.
