order of plugin-struts.xml and struts.xml

[Josep García <jg...@isigma.es>]

We are currently using struts 2.0.14 with Spring.

Is there any way of modifying the order of the config files for Struts2
plug-in modules?
Currently, we have a "Basic" web app with a "default" package in which we
define an "adminCheck" interceptor stack.

Besides, we have an "Advanced" web app, which is supposed to be the "Basic"
plus additional features. This we have implemented like a struts-plugin.xml.

I would like to use for some actions of this plugin the "adminCheck"
interceptor stack.
This does not seem to work as the load order is struts-plugin.xml first,
then struts.xml.

Is this possible at all? Any other better solution?

I think I remember seeing an ordering attribute/element somewhere, but I
honestly don't recall where.

http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/plugins.html
describes this strict ordering:
struts-default.xml (bundled in the Core JAR)
struts-plugin.xml (as many as can be found in other JARs)
struts.xml (provided by your application)

but note it doesn't discuss the order that multiple struts-plugin.xml's 
(in separate plugin.jars) will be loaded.  I believe Musachy worked on 
making this specifiable, but haven't checked to see if this ever made it 
into the trunk:

http://old.nabble.com/plugin-loading-order-to22889649.html

Usually struts.xml will depend upon stuff in the earlier .xml documents, 
so I don't think it's either possible or advisable to load that 
earlier...I assume you tried using an undefined interceptor-ref that's 
defined in a document loaded later and that didn't work?
