Spring interceptor ordering

SimpleUrlHandlerMapping uses a hashMap to hold the interceptors. Ordering can only be guaranteed by setting  order property.. By default it does a random get from the hashMap.

I was wondering if such things goes live by getting a right value...how do they get caught as their order is  random without explicitly saying so.
Maybe spring should warn us upfront..(or maybe it does?)

Subversion patch release

Releasing a patch to an already released (tagged) trunk would need some steps to be done.
Though it would take time it seems like a best practice to keep the code in sync across tags/ branches/ trunk.

The details:
a. Create copy of latest released tag into your branch B.
b. Fix bug in branch B
c. Copy fixed branch B to tag+1
d. Merge branch to trunk.
e. Remove branch.
