Circular dependency in spring

if a is dependent on b, b is dependent on c  then how initialization will happen spring.

The Spring container is able to resolve Setter-based circular dependencies but gives a runtime exception BeanCurrentlyInCreationException in case of Constructor-based circular dependencies. In case of Setter-based circular dependency, the IOC container handles it differently from a typical scenario wherein it would fully configure the collaborating bean before injecting it. For eg., if Bean A has a dependency on Bean B and Bean B on Bean C, the container fully initializes C before injecting it to B and once B is fully initialized it is injected to A. But in case of circular dependency, one of the beans is injected to the other before it is fully initialized.

Note :we can generally trust Spring to do the right thing. It detects configuration problems, such as references to non-existent beans and circular dependencies, at container load-time. Spring sets properties and resolves dependencies as late as possible, when the bean is actually created.
