Question

I’m Symfony 2 project going to define my own param converter for my classes that inherit from TenantableEntityInterface. The framework itself provide a default a DoctrineConverter while my own converter is quite similar but should be the only one to be executed (also for performance reasons).

How priority can be specified with param converters?

/**
 * @Service("request.doctrine_tenantable_entity_converter")
 * @Tag("request.param_converter")
 */
class DoctrineTenantableEntityConverter implements ParamConverterInterface
{
}

I’ve tried to pass a priority to the converter but it doesn’t work:

/**
 * @Route("/show/{id}")
 * @Method("GET")
 * @ParamConverter("message", class="MyBundle:Message", priority=10)
 * @Template
 */
public function showAction(Message $message)
{
}

Ok, found it on an obscure page. Priority (-10 to 10) should be specified at service definition level (i’m using JMSDiExtraBundle).

An higher priority means that your own converter is executed before DoctrineConverter:

/**
 * @Service("request.doctrine_tenantable_entity_converter")
 * @Tag("request.param_converter", attributes = {"priority" = "10"})
 */
class DoctrineTenantableEntityConverter implements ParamConverterInterface {}
