Spring Bean Inheritance Using Annotations Bean reference back issue
<p>I want to initialise classes which are inherited using spring Bean. I have followed this stackoverflow question to implement inheritance <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33287349/spring-inheritance-annotation">Spring Inheritance - Annotation</a> but I am getting exception  </p>

<p>This is my parent class</p>

<pre><code>public class DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer implements ScenarioResultAnalyser, CommonConstants{
@Autowired
NotificationEmail notificationEmail;

@Bean
public DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer defaultScenarioResultAnalyzer() {
    return new DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer();
}

public DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer() {
}

public DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer(ScenarioResult scenarioResult) {
    this.scenarioResult = scenarioResult;
    this.scenarioId = scenarioResult.getScenarioId();
    this.scenarioIdAsString = SCENARIO_FILE_PREFIX + scenarioId;
}
</code></pre>

<p>My child class is as follow</p>

<pre><code>@Configuration
public class MaxUsersSAQOSScenarioResultAnalyzer extends DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer {

private ScenarioResult scenorioResult;

@Bean
public  MaxUsersSAQOSScenarioResultAnalyzer maxUsersSAQOSScenarioResultAnalyzer(){
    return new MaxUsersSAQOSScenarioResultAnalyzer();
}

public MaxUsersSAQOSScenarioResultAnalyzer() {
}

public MaxUsersSAQOSScenarioResultAnalyzer(ScenarioResult scenarioResult) {
    super(scenarioResult);
    this.scenorioResult= scenarioResult;
    setSuccessEmailTemplateId("velocity/scenario/maxusers-saqos-scenario-success.vm");
    //scenario failure: use DefaultScenarioResultAnalyzer.failureEmailTemplateId
}
</code></pre>

<p>I am getting this exception</p>
