[Springframework-developer] Bean order in applicationContext.xml changed? How to force order.

[<jon...@ya...>]

Hi,

I used to use M2, now M4.

I suspect that something has changed between the two versions, with
respect to the order in which beans that are declared in
applicationContext.xml, are instantiated.  Unfortunately I can't
immediately check this as rolling back my changes are going to take a
few hours.  Can anybody confirm that this has taken place?  Previously,
I believe the syntactic order played a role (subject to dependency
resolution).

I have a nasty situation in which as my controllers are loaded, they
register security  information about themselves with a class.  A
"master" controller that needs to be loaded last, uses this registered
information in its configuration.  In M2 I placed this class last in
the dispatcher-servlet.xml, and it got instantiated last.  

Is there anyway that I can specify this dependency, or change some
Spring component to honour syntactic order as much as possible?

Thanks
Jon
