    Unable to chain processEngine as spring bean factory

    newbeewan

      Hi,

       

      I'm looking for a solution to create every services from processEngine directly via spring factory feature but Spring complain about circular references !

       

      My current configuration :

       

      <bean id="springHelper">
              <property name="jbpmCfg" value="jbpm.cfg.xml" />
          </bean>

       

          <bean id="processEngine" factory-bean="springHelper"
              factory-method="createProcessEngine" scope="singleton" depends-on="springHelper" />

       

          <bean id="repositoryService" factory-bean="processEngine"
              factory-method="getRepositoryService" scope="singleton"
              depends-on="springHelper,processEngine" />

       

      I've got an Exception using that config :

       

      org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: org.jbpm.api.RepositoryService mypackage.myBean.repositoryService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'repositoryService' defined in class path resource [cfg/jbpmConfigurationTest.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Factory method [public org.jbpm.api.RepositoryService org.jbpm.pvm.internal.processengine.ProcessEngineImpl.getRepositoryService()] threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'repositoryService': Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?

      ...

       

       

       

      Is there any trick to force Spring to initiate the first factory then the processEngine, then the repositoryService and after all resolving autowired fields ?
