Description

Ilya Novoseltsev opened DATAREST-685 and commented

Spring ApplicationEvent listeners can be ordered. Currently ValidatingRepositoryEventListener has no order and is executed with lowest priority, that is, last.

This is bad - custom event listeners cannot be configured to run after validation and must handle potentially invalid data themselves.

I propose adding implements Ordered to AbstractRepositoryEventListener with order = 0. That will allow users to place their custom listeners before and after internal Spring Rest listeners.

As a bonus, the order of ValidatingRepositoryEventListener can be made configurable via RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter
