Using Spring’s Kotlin BeanDefinitonDsl, e.g.

fun beans() = beans {
    bean<PropertySourceLoggingEventListener>()
}

Not able to find an equivalent to @Order for ordering beans, e.g.

@Bean
@Order(33)
fun someBean() = "abc"

Ideas on how provide equivalent ordering of beans?

[kqr]

did you try implement Ordered interface?

[Chris Lee]

Goal is to specify order at bean definition time without changing implementation, as with ‘@Order’

[kqr]

curious, what is the use case?

[kqr]

and btw does that even work?

@Bean
@Order(33)

[Chris Lee]

It works, it’s the recommended pattern when using configuration classes. Several use cases relating to injecting lists of beans of the same type, where the order matters.

[Chris Lee]

Some of the types come from libraries and can’t otherwise use Ordered interface.

Opened a ticket for this.
