Bootstrap sequence

[valery_antonov]

Well, I`m trying to bootstrap Alfresco with minimal-context.xml, and it gets stuck because importerBootstrap bean starts before schemaBootstrap.

Really, I`m wondering how it is supposed to work - all these beans are now derived from Surf's AlfrescoLifecycleBean, so they get started to bootstrap on ContextRefreshedEvent. AFAIK, Spring doesnt define the exact order for listeners to receive events (and this is normal), and bean dependencies doesnt work here (because all beans are created at this moment) so my question is - why we decided, that beans in bootstrap-context.xml will preserve order in which they defined?

Sorry, really problem exists only with Spring 3.0.5, version in Alfresco (3.0.0) is ok, but still - I dont understand, how it should manage order of bootstrapping

i think the order is managed automatically

[valery_antonov]

Yeahhh I just suppose that the only automation here is Spring event. And order in which all listeners receive ContextRefreshedEvent is not defined - so, it could work, or could not. And, IMHO, the order in which beans are defined in bootstrap-context.xml is not meaningful anymore
