Using a CDI portable extension, I'm registering a custom bean which represents an interceptor (by implementing the javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Interceptor interface).

My question now is how to specify the priority of that interceptor. Intuitively I had expected a method such as Interceptor#getPriority(), but there isn't such method.

In section 9 the spec says extensions could "override the interceptor order defined by the @Priority annotation" and refers to section 11.5.2 which introduces AfterTypeDiscovery#getInterceptors(). So I could use this to add my interceptor, but I don't see how I could specify the priority while doing so.

How can this be achieved?

Many thanks,
