Interface Prioritized

All Known Implementing Classes:
HoconMpMetaConfigProvider, YamlMetaConfigProvider
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface Prioritized
Interface to define that this class is a class with priority. One of the uses is for services loaded by a ServiceLoader.

A Prioritized with lower priority number is more significant than a Prioritized with a higher priority number.

For cases where priority is the same, implementation must define ordering of such Prioritized.

Negative priorities are not allowed and services using priorities should throw an IllegalArgumentException if such a priority is used (unless such a service documents the specific usage of a negative priority)

A Prioritized with priority 1 is more significant (will be returned before) priority 2.

    Description
    static final int

    Description
    int

    Priority of this class (maybe because it is defined dynamically, so it cannot be defined by an annotation).

  • Method Details

    • priority

      int priority()
      Priority of this class (maybe because it is defined dynamically, so it cannot be defined by an annotation). If not dynamic, you can use the jakarta.annotation.Priority annotation rather then implementing this interface as long as it is supported by the library using this Prioritized.
      Returns:
      the priority of this service, must be a non-negative number
