Circular References Prohibited by Default in spring boot version 2.6

If your application fails to start due to a BeanCurrentlyInCreationException you are strongly encouraged to update your configuration to break the dependency cycle.

The temporary solution is to restore 2.5’s behavior, set the following in .properties/yml,

spring: 
  main:
    allow-circular-references: true

See this article for an in-depth description and some possible remedies.
