There is another way to achieve the same result. Remember that `@Configuration` classes are

ultimately only another bean in the container: This means that they can take advantage of

`@Autowired` and `@Value` injection and other features the same as any other bean.

Avoid access to locally defined beans within a `@PostConstruct` method on the same configuration

class. This effectively leads to a circular reference since non-static `@Bean` methods semantically

require a fully initialized configuration class instance to be called on. With circular references

disallowed (e.g. in Spring Boot 2.6+), this may trigger a `BeanCurrentlyInCreationException`.

Also, be particularly careful with `BeanPostProcessor` and `BeanFactoryPostProcessor` definitions

through `@Bean`. Those should usually be declared as `static @Bean` methods, not triggering the
