Circular references problem when using RestTemplateBuilder on custom WebMvcConfigurer

[fangjian0423]

Hi,

We encounter a circular references problem when using spring-boot-starter-data-rest with Azure AAD Starter spring-cloud-azure-starter-active-directory, refer Azure/azure-sdk-for-java#31497.

The problem will be resolved when change spring-boot-starter-data-rest to spring-boot-starter-web.

I investigate it and find that the mvcConversionService bean used in RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration cause the problem, more details could see Azure/azure-sdk-for-java#31497 (comment).

The azure issue mentioned before describe how to reproduce the problem. If you think Azure AAD Starter is complex, I created a easily sample to reproduce it.

Are there any workarounds for this or any plans to fix it? thanks!

It seems like nobody cares from Spring Data Rest Team.
Is Spring Data Rest project kind of dead?

Hello
Do you have any news on this topic ?
It's quite blocking for all people that want to use azure.

Thanks

Hi @remybd!

The only solution for us is to downgrade to azure 4.3.0.
