app.add_middleware(MiddlewareB)
```

This results in the following execution order:

* **Request**: MiddlewareB → MiddlewareA → route

* **Response**: route → MiddlewareA → MiddlewareB

This stacking behavior ensures that middlewares are executed in a predictable and controllable order.

## Other middlewares { #other-middlewares }

        # shellcheck disable=SC2039,SC3045
        ulimit -n "$MAX_FD" ||
            warn "Could not set maximum file descriptor limit to $MAX_FD"

# Collect all arguments for the java command, stacking in reverse order:

#   * the main class name
#   * -classpath
#   * -D...appname settings
#   * --module-path (only if needed)
