This is a question about Servlet Specification Vs Implementation details.
The filters mappings are applied as per specifications, and in order.
However when initialized by the Container they start by Alphabetical order.
No matter what order I list these filter declarations in, "AuthFilter"
always gets started before "Initalizer", I could rename these but I think it
would be better to have filters initialized in the same order they are
listed, is this a feature that can make it in the next beta? or am I
missing something?
