我面临着“循环占位符引用”异常，而试图运行一个可执行的jar文件。下面是详细的例外。

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean definition with name 'postProcessProperties' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Circular placeholder reference 'processor.core.poolsize' in property definitions
     [echo]     at org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.processProperties(PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.java:287)

这是一个spring应用程序，它使用外部属性文件在启动时读取值。这是Spring的定义。到目前为止，这一直运作得很好。

<bean id="propertyConfig"
        class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_NEVER" />
        <property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true" />
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>classpath:/postprocess.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="properties">
            <props>
                <prop key="processor.core.poolsize">${processor.core.poolsize}</prop>
                <prop key="processor.max.poolsize">${processor.max.poolsize}</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="postProcessProperties"
        class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
        <property name="properties">
            <props>
                <prop key="processor.core.poolsize">${processor.core.poolsize}</prop>
                <prop key="processor.max.poolsize">${processor.max.poolsize}</prop>
                <prop key="processor.polling.delay">${processor.polling.delay}</prop>
                <prop key="processor.polling.period">${processor.polling.period}</prop>
        </property>
    </bean>

我使用shade插件来生成jar文件。这一段的

                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

我不确定是什么导致了这个问题，因为我以前在其他可执行的jar文件中使用过类似的模式。
任何指针将不胜感激。
谢谢
