@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD}) @Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Documented public @interface DependsOn
A depends-on declaration can specify both an initialization-time dependency and, in the case of singleton beans only, a corresponding destruction-time dependency. Dependent beans that define a depends-on relationship with a given bean are destroyed first, prior to the given bean itself being destroyed. Thus, a depends-on declaration can also control shutdown order.
May be used on any class directly or indirectly annotated with
Component
or on methods annotated
with Bean
.
Using DependsOn
at the class level has no effect unless component-scanning
is being used. If a DependsOn
-annotated class is declared via XML,
DependsOn
annotation metadata is ignored, and
<bean depends-on="..."/>
is respected instead.
