# Bean ordering

As the datastore configurator is intended to be used as a Spring Bean, call and autowiring ordering is important. Define schema configurations *before* you create the bean. This sequence is simplified by the `IDatastoreConfiguratorSetup` interface, which creates a `DatastoreConfigurator` instance and calls the `applyModifications()` and `buildSchemas()` methods prior to exposing the Spring Bean.

You can still define further additions to schemas, as well as modifications to those schemas, but they have to be properly ordered.

The `buildSchemaDescription()` method assumes proper ordering of all previous configurator object interactions.
