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 failure to root cause by inspecting exception chains, configuration, and active profiles.
  • Analyze missing or ambiguous beans, circular dependencies, and conditional auto-configuration issues with guided remediation.
  • Provide minimal, verifiable fixes and explanations to restore correct wiring in Kotlin + Spring apps.

Quick Start

Provide a focused root-cause analysis for a failing Spring context and propose the minimal wiring fix.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix a Spring bean circular dependency during application context startup?

Resolve missing Spring beans by analyzing exception chains and configuration classes to locate the absent bean definition. Inspect active profiles and conditional auto-configuration to determine why the bean was omitted, then apply a minimal wiring fix to restore it.

Why does my Spring conditional auto-configuration mismatch cause a bean not to be created?

A conditional auto-configuration mismatch prevents bean creation when active profiles or conditions do not align with the configuration class. Inspect the active profiles and exception chain to pinpoint the mismatch and apply a minimal, verifiable fix to correct the wiring.

Can I diagnose a duplicate bean exception in a Kotlin Spring project without a broad rewrite?

Yes, you can diagnose duplicate bean exceptions by analyzing the configuration classes and bean graph to isolate the conflicting definitions. This approach provides a minimal, verifiable fix to resolve the ambiguity without requiring a broad rewrite of your Kotlin Spring project.

What is the best way to troubleshoot profile-related wiring issues in a Spring application context?

The best way to troubleshoot profile-related wiring issues is to analyze active profiles alongside configuration classes and exception chains. Reconstruct the bean path from the failure to identify the profile mismatch and propose a minimal, verifiable fix for correct wiring.

How do I trace a Spring application context startup failure back to its root cause?

Trace a Spring application context startup failure by analyzing the exception chain, configuration classes, and active profiles. Reconstruct the bean path from the failure point to reveal the root cause and propose a minimal, verifiable fix with clear rationale.
