[cdi-dev] Antw.: @PostConstruct and @Inject methods in superclasses

[Arne Limburg]

Hi,
for @Inject there is an order specified in JSR 330. Imho we should specify that same order for @Postconstruct if we have specification for it yet.

Regards,
Arne

This is actually covered by the interceptors specification, from memory I am pretty sure the base class method is mean't to be called first, but the spec gives you the full order.

@Inject methods are called before @PostConstuct (the are called in InjectionTarget.inject, which gets called before InjectionTarget.postConstruct).

I don't think we specify an order for @Inject methods.
