hadoop: Spring: ensure initialization order without 'depends-on'

lundi 2 mars 2015

I have kinda complex spring context and I want to ensure that beans will be initialized in specific order.


-+ module 1
 ++ root-context.xml
  +- LocalSessionFactoryBean
-+ module 2
 ++ additional-context.xml
  +- MyHijackingBean

Before module 1 was dependent on module 2. And LocalSessionFactoryBean was defined as:


<bean class="org.s.o.LocalSessionFactoryBean" depends-on="MyHijackingBean">

It was working great. MyHijackingBean was initialized with @PostConstruct before LocalSessionFactoryBean was created.

But now I have reversed dependency - module 2 is dependent on module 1. So module 1 doesn't know anything about MyHijackingBean

Can I somehow reverse depends-on? I've tried to use BeanPostProcessor, but there I don't have any possibility to control order of initalization.

Spring version - 3.2

hadoop
