在任何其他Bean之前先弹簧加载一个Bean

Question

I have a requirement that I want to initialize a bean before any other bean in my application context. One way to do is to use "depends-on" on every other bean but its too verbose as I have many beans in my application-context.

Is there any other way to do this. I have read abt implementing ServletContext for this but I dont think this will work as this has nothing to do with Spring.

Please let me know your thoughts on it.

Thanks, Raunak

Make sure that your bean comes first in your context.xml and it will be instantiated first. You can make a simple test to verify.
