@Autowired for lists (what is the order of list)

[aldana]

Hi,

I like the @Autowired approach for list items

@Component
class Foo{
 
 @Autowired List<MyObject> items;

}

@Component
class A implements MyObject{}

@Component 
class B MyObject{}

I wonder what's the order of the injected items? Does it relate to the order of .jar loadings (i.e. classpath order)? Or maybe the order of the context definition loading resolves to the final order?

Looking at http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-5574 an expliticly user-defined order is not supported.

thanks

https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-6253 also seems to support a new feature for user defined ordering.

I too am curious to know what will decide order in the current situation.

You can implement the Ordered interface to re order the List. see an example here http://rdafbn.blogspot.ie/2012/11/ch...ng-spring.html
