I read here:

/@dulanjayasandaruwan1998/spring-doesnt-recommend-autowired-anymore-05fc05309dad

Basically can removed the @Autowired and replaced it to private final like this:

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class MyService {

    private final MyRepository myRepository;
}

However, I try to use it for repo, it is working but it is not working for service. It have error like this:

Action:

Despite circular references being allowed, the dependency cycle between beans could not be broken. Update your application to remove the dependency cycle.

Here is the concept that I want to do:

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class AnotherService {
    private final MyService myService;
}

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class MyService {
    private final AnotherService anotherService;
}

Is there any way that I could make it work while removing the @Autowired.

• You have a circulair dependency, that won't work with constructor injection as MyService needs AnotherService, while AnotherService needs MyService. They depend an each other. Remove the circulair dependency is the proper way forward. – M. Deinum Commented Mar 3 at 8:24

You can use @Lazy annotation to inject the bean lazily which avoids circular dependency. Recommended in constructor injection.

Adding spring.main.allow-circular-references=true or using @Lazy should have worked. If not you could inject ApplicationContext and fetch your service using the reference of ApplicationContext

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class AnotherService {
    private final ApplicationContext context;

    public void yourMenthos() {
        MyService svc = context.getBean(MyService.class);
        ...

    }
}
