Controlling order of plug-in initialization.
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: QPID-2223
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-2223
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++ Broker
    Affects Versions: 0.5
            Reporter: Alan Conway
            Assignee: Alan Conway


The specific  use case for this is as follows:

The cluster plug-in needs to know in earlyInitialize whether or not the broker 
has a store so it can correctly advertise itself as persistent/transient when 
joining the cluster.  

The current solution is 
     /**                                                                        
           
      * Initialization order. If a plugin does not override this, it            
           
      * returns DEFAULT_INIT_ORDER. Plugins that need to be initialized         
           
      * earlier/later than normal can override initOrder to return              
           
      * a lower/higher value than DEFAULT_INIT_ORDER.                           
           
      */
     QPID_COMMON_EXTERN virtual int initOrder() const;

The cluster plugin sets a higher initOrder so it will initialize after the 
store and can test whether broker.getStore()  is a null store.

This feature was added without sufficient discussion. The goal of this JIRA is 
to determine if there's a better solution that would apply more generally. If 
so we'll implement that instead.
