ApplicationListener notifications to reflect Ordered interface [SPR-5240] #9914
Description
Ben Alex opened SPR-5240 and commented
At present Spring Framework offers no guarantees as to the order in which ApplicationEvent messages will be delivered to ApplicationListener instances.
It would be desirable for ApplicationListener instances that also implement Spring's Ordered interface to be notified of ApplicationEvents in the requested order. This would permit more complex use cases to be addressed by the ApplicationListener capability, plus provide consistency with other parts of Spring Framework which rely on Ordered.
As an interim solution, a user-provided OrderedApplicationEventMulticaster can be registered by AbstractApplicationContext. Nevertheless, it would be desirable for Spring Framework to provide this capability as part of its core functionality.
