Annotation Interface DependsOn

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface DependsOn
Used to express an initialization dependency between singleton components.

The container ensures that all singleton beans with which a singleton has a DependsOn relationship have been initialized before the singleton's PostConstruct method is called.

During application shutdown the container ensures that all singleton beans on with which the singleton has a DependsOn relationship are still available during the singleton's PreDestroy method.

Since:
