----------------------------------------
Summary: DefaultServiceContext.getServices does not return the
services as sorted list
Key: TAMAYA-199
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAMAYA-199
Project: Tamaya
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.3-incubating
Reporter: Thomas Liebetraut
At some places in the code, for instance in tamaya-formats,
{{ConfigurationFormats.getFormats()}} the code relies on a list of loaded
services to be sorted by priority.
This is an assumption that is wrong and results in
{{ConfigurationFormats.getFormats()}} to violate its documentation. The formats
are in the order that the ServiceLoader found them, not sorted by priority.
While the documentation of {{DefaultServiceContext.getServices}} does not
explicitly state an order, I think it would make most sense to sort the list
there. If a service client doesn't care about the order, an ordered list won't
be a problem, but if a client cares about the order (like in tamaya-formats),
it doesn't have to implement the sorting over and over again.
