OnApplicationStarting class final

Annotation to mark a method that should run when the application is starting, before the context refresh occurs.

This is typically used to prepare resources, validate configuration, or perform setup tasks that need to run at the very beginning of the application lifecycle.

The only acceptable method signatures are:

  • No-Arg: The method should not accept any arguments.
  • One-Arg: The method should accept a single argument of type ConfigurableBootstrapContext or Class<Object>.
  • Two-Args: The method should accept two arguments of types ConfigurableBootstrapContext and Class<Object>.

Example

class MyApp {
  @OnApplicationStarting()
  void initResources() {
    print("Initializing resources before context refresh...");
  }

  @OnApplicationStarting()
  void initResourcesWithContext(ConfigurableBootstrapContext context) {
    print("Initializing resources before context refresh...");
  }

  @OnApplicationStarting()
  void initResourcesWithContextAndClass(ConfigurableBootstrapContext context, Class<Object> mainClass) {
    print("Initializing resources before context refresh...");
  }

  @OnApplicationStarting()
  void initResourcesWithClass(Class<Object> mainClass) {
    print("Initializing resources before context refresh...");
  }
}
