All @Resource injections before any @PostConstruct again

JSR-250 says that all @ Resource-annotated methods will be called before the @PostConstruct method.

My question is:

Does this mean that all @Resource annotated methods on all beans in the context will be called before any @PostConstruct annotated methods are called? Or, in other words, can you call the beans @PostConstruct method after its dependencies have been introduced, even if the other beans in the context still did not contain nested dependencies?

Regards, Tim.

It is guaranteed that when this bean @PostConstruct , all its @Resource fields will be entered. If any of these injections is beans themselves with their @Resource and @PostConstruct , then they will already be called. In other words, by the time any given @PostConstruct , it is guaranteed that all its dependencies are fully initialized.

It is possible and actually likely that BeanA will be constructed and initialized via @PostConstruct before BeanB even created if BeanB does not have a pronounced dependence on BeanA .
