Revisit "ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized" behavior for early event publication scenarios [SPR-12902]

[spring-projects-issues]

Christopher Smith opened SPR-12902 and commented

I hit a bizarre bug in my application that has several StackOverflow and similar posts around the Web. Each time there's been an immediate workaround, but the behavior smells like a bug in the DI dependency algorithms, and I wanted to raise it for review.

The problem manifests when a component used by MVC, such as a Converter or argument resolver, depends on a Spring Data repository. Attempting to create the component's bean throws an IllegalStateException with the message

ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - call 'refresh' before multicasting events via the context: org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.AnnotationConfigEmbeddedWebApplicationContext@491b9b8: startup date [Fri Apr 10 03:28:32 CDT 2015]; root of context hierarchy

Removing the dependency on the repository bean or the implements clause that makes it interesting to MVC makes the exception go away. Injecting via field or constructor makes no difference. Creating the bean via component scanning or an @Bean method (with parameter or configuration-field injection) makes no difference. The issue has been seen with JPA, MongoDB, and Neo4J repositories.

Workarounds have suggested "use the latest snapshot of Spring library $FOO", but I believe this is masking the bug: I have sandbox Spring Boot launchers for my (multi-module) core Maven project and my (multi-module) application project that depends on it; all of the Spring dependencies are of identical versions, and only the application launcher throws the exception while the core launcher starts normally. Both are obtaining the MongoDB configuration from a common CloudConfig class in the core project, using the same properties file for connection parameters.

This appears to be a fairly nondeterministic failure, and the apparent sensitivity on irrelevant details like the existence of extraneous beans makes me suspect that the problem is in the DI container, but it might be a bug in the Spring Data mapping code.

Note: I have found that annotating the injection point with @Lazy seems to work as a workaround, but since nothing explicitly depends on this bean (and if it did, the exception should be one for a circular dependency), eager initialization should work.

Juergen Hoeller commented

This is not a new problem; it keeps coming up in some form every now and then. From that perspective, we should try to avoid such a hard IllegalStateException and provide reasonable fallback behavior instead.

That said, the new factor here is Spring Boot: Its ConfigurationPropertiesBindingPostProcessor rather aggressively builds its ConversionService and therefore triggers the creation of Spring Data's converters, which implicitly leads to the publication of some events there.

So from my perspective, the problem is threefold:

• Spring Boot shouldn't unconditionally trigger such early creation of Spring Data converters from within a BeanPostProcessor which is even applied to very core beans such as MessageSource that will be created before the ApplicationEventMulticaster. That's "unfriendly behavior" for a bean post-processor.

• Spring Data shouldn't try to publish events from within its AbstractMappingContext, given that it may be called at such an early point. Or well, if it insists on doing that, it should guard its publishEvent call with an IllegalStateException catch clause, provided that it's ok for such an event to be ignored.

• Spring's AbstractApplicationContext currently initializes its MessageSource bean before the ApplicationEventMulticaster bean. The problem would largely go away if we inverted that order. However, a custom multicaster bean may also delegate to some other beans etc, so it wouldn't be completely safe.

A straightforward remedy would be to locally accumulate such early events, propagating them to the multicaster once initialized. I suppose the best place to do that would be AbstractApplicationContext itself. However, we would only do that as of 4.2, so it still makes sense for Boot/Data to be more defensive there.

Juergen Hoeller commented

I've implemented the approach I outlined, collecting those early events and publishing them in a batch once the multicaster is available. This definitely needs to go through the 4.2 release candidate phase though.

For 4.1.x, the easiest solution seems to be for Data/Boot to be more defensive there. I would recommend that in general, even against 4.2.

Terence Mill, indeed, this seems to be a related issue in ApplicationListenerDetector which needs to defensively handle a call to the ApplicationEventMulticaster for scenarios where the latter hasn't been initialized yet. Could you please create a separate JIRA ticket for this? I'll sort it out for 4.3.13 then.
