SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Diagnose Spring application context startup failures, bean graph problems, missing or duplicate beans, circular dependencies, conditional auto-configuration mismatches, and profile-related wiring issues in Kotlin + Spring projects. Use when the app does not start, a bean is not created or is created unexpectedly, auto-configuration behaves strangely, or a minimal DI fix is needed instead of a broad rewrite.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reconstruct the bean path from the first failing bean to root cause and propose minimal fixes.
  • Assess conditional and profile-driven configurations, and identify misconfigurations or missing beans.
  • Provide actionable guidance and testable steps to restore wiring with minimal changes.

Quick Start

Diagnose the Spring DI failure by tracing the bean graph from the first error and propose the smallest, testable fix to restore correct wiring.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix Spring application context startup failures caused by bean creation errors?▼

Resolve circular dependencies in Spring DI by analyzing the bean creation path from the initial error, evaluating active profiles and configuration classes to isolate the dependency loop and propose minimal configuration adjustments.

Why does my Spring auto-configuration behave strangely or fail to load expected beans?▼

Spring auto-configuration behaves strangely due to conditional mismatches or missing profiles; analyze auto-configuration reports and active profiles to identify misconfigurations and restore correct bean wiring with minimal changes.

Can I diagnose missing or duplicate beans in a Kotlin + Spring project without a broad rewrite?▼

Yes, you can diagnose missing or duplicate beans in Kotlin + Spring projects by assessing profile-driven configurations and exception chains to pinpoint the exact misconfiguration, providing actionable guidance for a minimal DI fix.

What is the best way to trace a Spring bean graph from the first error to its root cause?▼

The best way to trace a Spring bean graph is to analyze the exception chain from the first failing bean, evaluate conditional auto-configuration and active profiles, and identify the root cause to propose minimal, testable fixes.
