circular dependency between hateoas beans - WebConverters

[swaroopar]

Hi Team,

We have a spring boot application which uses RestTemplate and it works fine. Now we have added another library called 'activiti' which also provided spring boot starter configuration for its beans. But after adding this library, the application does not boot anymore. We see the below circular dependency error.

spring-hateoas version - 2.2.0
spring-boot version - 3.2.0

Could please help here?
