### SortedResourcesFactoryBean

Method Detail

### setResourceLoader

    public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)

  Description copied from interface: `ResourceLoaderAware`
  Set the ResourceLoader that this object runs in.

  This might be a ResourcePatternResolver, which can be checked through `instanceof ResourcePatternResolver`. See also the `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver` method.

  Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's `afterPropertiesSet` or a custom init-method. Invoked before ApplicationContextAware's `setApplicationContext`.

  Specified by:
    `setResourceLoader` in interface `ResourceLoaderAware`
  Parameters:
    `resourceLoader` - ResourceLoader object to be used by this object
  See Also:
    `ResourcePatternResolver`, `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader)`

### getObjectType

    public Class<? extends Resource[]> getObjectType()

  Description copied from class: `AbstractFactoryBean`
  This abstract method declaration mirrors the method in the FactoryBean interface, for a consistent offering of abstract template methods.

  Specified by:
    `getObjectType` in interface `FactoryBean<Resource[]>`
  Specified by:
    `getObjectType` in class `AbstractFactoryBean<Resource[]>`
  Returns:
    the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or `null` if not known at the time of the call
  See Also:
    `FactoryBean.getObjectType()`

### createInstance

    protected Resource[] createInstance()
                                 throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `AbstractFactoryBean`
  Template method that subclasses must override to construct the object returned by this factory.

  Invoked on initialization of this FactoryBean in case of a singleton; else, on each `AbstractFactoryBean.getObject()` call.

  Specified by:
    `createInstance` in class `AbstractFactoryBean<Resource[]>`
  Returns:
    the object returned by this factory
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if an exception occured during object creation
  See Also:
    `AbstractFactoryBean.getObject()`
