SmallRye Config @Priority order in interceptors

[emilianocolon]

Hi there,

When using the @priority(1) annotation in ConfigSourceInterceptor, do smaller numbers mean the interceptor runs earlier in the chain or viceversa?

Good question!

While priority usually means that the lower the number, the higher in the stack to execute, we use higher the number, higher to execute, because of ConfigSource ordinal and Converter, and we didn't want to introduce a different behaviour. Check:

• "Ordinal" versus "Priority" is confusing microprofile/microprofile-config#553
• https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-config/blob/main/api/src/main/java/org/eclipse/microprofile/config/spi/Converter.java#L102-L113

Thanks for clarifying!
