StackOverflow on circular dependencies

[Cloves Almeida]

The following code:

public class Home {

     @Inject Menu menu;
     
}

public class Menu {

     @Inject
     public Menu(Home home) {
          // do something
     }
}

causes a StackOverflowException when deploying. Is this the best way to use circular dependencies?

[Cloves Almeida]

Got the answer from CDI spec. @Dependent beans cannot have circular dependencies. Making them @SessionScoped solved.
