Description

Currently to prioritize which interceptors fire first a single file controls-interceptors.config is used to order the interceptor classes. This approach works for most cases. However, If I write 3 interceptors and package them in interceptor1.jar with a controls-interceptor.config file and have 3 different interceptors and config file in interceptor2.jar then only the interceptors that appear first on the classpath will maintain thier ordering as only 1 config file is resource loaded.
