org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader – Context initialization failed

I am getting following exception while starting tomcat. Application context is not loaded after the error. I am using spring framework.

2008-07-02 17:55:19,484 [main] ERROR org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'testController' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/servlet.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'callCenterService': Bean with name 'callCenterService' has been injected into other beans [centerAccessService] in its raw version as part of a circular reference, but has eventually been wrapped (for example as part of auto-proxy creation). This means that said other beans do not use the final version of the bean. This is often the result of over-eager type matching - consider using 'getBeanNamesOfType' with the 'allowEagerInit' flag turned off, for example.

What could be possible reason for this exception?

This is the case of circular reference. It is like we need bean B to initialize Bean A and We need bean A to initialize bean B. If this is the case then both A, B won’t be initialized.
The solution to this problem is to avoid such case. It might be possible that by mistake you are making such a circular reference.
Check your beans initialization properties.
