## Annotation Type DependsOn

-     @Target(value=TYPE)
      @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      public @interface DependsOn

  Used to express an initialization dependency between singleton components.

  The container ensures that all singleton beans with which a singleton has a `DependsOn` relationship have been initialized before the singleton's `PostConstruct` method is called.

  During application shutdown the container ensures that all singleton beans on with which the singleton has a `DependsOn` relationship are still available during the singleton's `PreDestroy` method.

  Since:
    EJB 3.1
