    Allow HttpMsgConverter to depend on ConvService without creating a cycle · e5906a6b
    Andy Wilkinson authored
    In an MVC web application, DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration provides the
    ConversionService while also consuming WebMvcConfigurerAdapters that,
    among other things, can configure HTTP message converters. Boot's
    WebMvcConfigurerAdapter, WebMvcAutoConfigurationAdapter, consumes
    the HttpMessageConverters bean and uses it to configure Spring MVC's
    HTTP message converters. This can create a bean dependency cycle if
    an HTTP message converter bean depends, directly or indirectly on
    the ConversionService. An example of the cycle is:
    
    ┌─────┐
    |  jsonComponentConversionServiceCycle.ThingDeserializer defined in …
    ↑     ↓
    |  org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.WebMvcAutoConfiguration$EnableWebMvcConfiguration
    ↑     ↓

    ↑     ↓
    |  jacksonObjectMapper defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jackson/JacksonAutoConfiguration$JacksonObjectMapperConfiguration.class]
    └─────┘
    
    This commit breaks the cycle by making WebMvcAutoConfigurationAdapter
    consume HttpMessageConverters lazily. This allows the adapter to be
    created without triggered instantiation of every HTTP message
    converter bean and all their dependencies. This allows it to be
    injected into DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration without triggering an
    attempt to retrieve the ConversionService.
