Circular Dependency in Spring Beans

App fails to start with circular dependency error. Two or more beans reference each other creating an unsolvable dependency chain.

Spring can't instantiate beans if they depend on each other.

Error Messages You Might See

The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle BeanCurrentlyInCreationException
The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycleBeanCurrentlyInCreationException

Common Causes

  1. Service A @Autowired Service B, Service B @Autowired Service A
  2. Controller depends on Service that depends on Controller
  3. Configuration class circular references
  4. Event listeners creating implicit dependencies

How to Fix It

Refactor to break cycle: extract common functionality to third service. Use @Lazy to defer one bean creation. Use constructor injection to identify issues clearly. Use ObjectProvider for optional dependencies. Check Spring logs for dependency path showing the cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the circular dependency?

Spring logs the bean chain showing the cycle. Refactor to eliminate it

Can @Lazy always fix this?

@Lazy defers initialization but doesn't solve underlying design issue. Refactor properly
