Liquibase and Spring integration

Question

i am trying to integrate Liquibase with Spring (see this http://www.liquibase.org/documentation/spring.html ) currently i am using Liquibase manually, and i wanted to update the DB as part of the init of the application (war)

everything is working well expect the fact that Liquibase Spring Bean is loaded after a lot of other beans (e.g Spring Security beans).

how can i make sure that Liquibase bean is loaded before all the other beans ? consider that currently Liquibase bean have it's own Spring profile.

Thanks.

I just stumbled across the same problem and solved it with the @DependsOn annotation. It helps spring to resolve dependencies in an order that makes sense and should be fairly self-explanatory.

Example code:

@DependsOn("liquibase")
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private DataSource dataSource;

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.jdbcAuthentication()
                .dataSource(dataSource)
                // ... 
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        // ...
    }
}

Alternatively there is the depends-on attribute for XML based configuration.
