Spring的循环依赖

在Teradata的一次Java面试，说到了一个spring的循环依赖的问题：
A依赖B，B依赖C，C依赖A，这个会不会有问题。

按照面试人的说法，创建A之前创建B，创建B之前创建C，创建C正好创建A，
不屑一顾的说，这没问题啊，完全可以建立起来。

			// Fail if we're already creating this bean instance:
			// We're assumably within a circular reference.
			if (isPrototypeCurrentlyInCreation(beanName)) {
				throw new BeanCurrentlyInCreationException(beanName);
			}

			// Check if bean definition exists in this factory.
			BeanFactory parentBeanFactory = getParentBeanFactory();
			if (parentBeanFactory != null && !containsBeanDefinition(beanName)) {
				// Not found -> check parent.
				String nameToLookup = originalBeanName(name);
				if (args != null) {
					// Delegation to parent with explicit args.
					return (T) parentBeanFactory.getBean(nameToLookup, args);
				}
				else {
					// No args -> delegate to standard getBean method.
					return parentBeanFactory.getBean(nameToLookup, requiredType);
				}
			}

			if (!typeCheckOnly) {
				markBeanAsCreated(beanName);
			}

			final RootBeanDefinition mbd = getMergedLocalBeanDefinition(beanName);
			checkMergedBeanDefinition(mbd, beanName, args);

			// Guarantee initialization of beans that the current bean depends on.
			String[] dependsOn = mbd.getDependsOn();
			if (dependsOn != null) {
				for (String dependsOnBean : dependsOn) {
					getBean(dependsOnBean);
					registerDependentBean(dependsOnBean, beanName);
				}
			}

			// Create bean instance.
			if (mbd.isSingleton()) {
				sharedInstance = getSingleton(beanName, new ObjectFactory() {
					public Object getObject() throws BeansException {
						try {
							return createBean(beanName, mbd, args);
						}
						catch (BeansException ex) {
							// Explicitly remove instance from singleton cache: It might have been put there
							// eagerly by the creation process, to allow for circular reference resolution.
							// Also remove any beans that received a temporary reference to the bean.
							destroySingleton(beanName);
							throw ex;
						}
					}
				});
				bean = getObjectForBeanInstance(sharedInstance, name, beanName, mbd);
			}

			else if (mbd.isPrototype()) {
				// It's a prototype -> create a new instance.
				Object prototypeInstance = null;
				try {
					beforePrototypeCreation(beanName);
					prototypeInstance = createBean(beanName, mbd, args);
				}
				finally {
					afterPrototypeCreation(beanName);
				}
				bean = getObjectForBeanInstance(prototypeInstance, name, beanName, mbd);
			}

			else {
				String scopeName = mbd.getScope();
				final Scope scope = this.scopes.get(scopeName);
				if (scope == null) {
					throw new IllegalStateException("No Scope registered for scope '" + scopeName + "'");
				}
				try {
					Object scopedInstance = scope.get(beanName, new ObjectFactory() {
						public Object getObject() throws BeansException {
							beforePrototypeCreation(beanName);
							try {
								return createBean(beanName, mbd, args);
							}
							finally {
								afterPrototypeCreation(beanName);
							}
						}
					});
					bean = getObjectForBeanInstance(scopedInstance, name, beanName, mbd);
				}
				catch (IllegalStateException ex) {
					throw new BeanCreationException(beanName,
							"Scope '" + scopeName + "' is not active for the current thread; " +
							"consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean if you intend to refer to it from a singleton",
							ex);
				}
			}

这段代码是spring创建bean的一个过程，从上面可以看出创建bean之前，他的依赖一定是创建好的，而不是先创建bean再创建依赖。

第一句代码，明确指出了，是否是循环依赖，抛出异常。

			// Fail if we're already creating this bean instance:
			// We're assumably within a circular reference.
			if (isPrototypeCurrentlyInCreation(beanName)) {
				throw new BeanCurrentlyInCreationException(beanName);
			}

所以创建A时，必须先创建B，创建B必须创建C，创建C就必须先建立A。而A又处于创建中，
即：

if (isPrototypeCurrentlyInCreation(beanName)) 

所以要抛出异常：
Error creating bean with name 'beanName ': Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?

现在想来真是无语，技术是用来探讨学习的。
