Pete Muir commented on CDITCK-140:
----------------------------------

Explain how the actual test (not some other test) violates this rule.

> from JSR-250-1.1.MREL section 2.5:
> "The PostConstruct annotation is used on a method that needs to be executed after
> dependency injection is done to perform any initialization. This method MUST be
> invoked before the class is put into service."
> Which I read as "may only get used by others after the @PostConstruct annotated method did run".
> This is backed by the following example
> public BeanA {
>   private @Inject BeanB b;
>   private int x = 0;
>   public int getX() { return x; }
>   @PostConstruct void init() { x = b.getX()+7; }
> }
>   
> public BeanB {
>   private @Inject BeanA a;
>   private int x = 0;
>   public int getX() { return x; }
>   @PostConstruct void init() { x = a.getX()+9; }
> }
> which value do a.x and b.x get finally? This would simply be non-deterministic - and therefore forbidden by the JSR-250 spec.
> Such kind of circular @PostConstruct method calls happen e.g. in CircularDependencyTest Pig -> Food -> Pig
