Circular dependencies when using @EntityListeners #59
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I have an Entity with a Listener:
@Entity @EntityListeners(MyEntityUpdateListener.class) public class MyEntity { ... and the Listener needs to modify the database, so it needs a Repository or the entityManager:
public class MyEntityUpdateListener { private final EntityManager entityManager; public MyEntityUpdateListener(EntityManager _em) { ... When starting this, I get
*************************** APPLICATION FAILED TO START *************************** Description: The dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle: ... ↓ myRepository defined in ....MyRepository defined in @EnableJpaRepositories declared on MyApplication ↓ (inner bean)#55e91e61 ┌─────┐ | entityManagerFactory defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaConfiguration.class] ↑ ↓ | ....MyEntityUpdateListener ↑ ↓ | org.springframework.orm.jpa.SharedEntityManagerCreator#0 └─────┘ What is the expected output?
This works fine with standard Spring Boot.
What happens instead?
Should also work with spring-data-jpa-entity-graph
Environment:
- Spring Data JPA version (not the Spring Boot one): 2.3.4.RELEASE
- ORM with version: 5.4.21.Final
- spring-data-jpa-entity-graph version: 2.3.1, 2.4.2, 2.5.0
Things I have tried (none have worked):
- change from constructor injection to
@Autowired- variable will be null - change from EntityManager to requiring a Repository - no change
- use
@PostUpdateannotation in the Entity class - same error
