application.xml + dependency between war and EJB

[betounisul]

I have the following problem, I have a WAR and an EJB module, which are in a EAR. The EJB provides a messaging service (MDB) that depends on the implementation of a listener in the WAR module when JBoss is "rising."

I need to configure the JBoss or the EAR so that the application go before the WAR EJB. Anybody know how to do this configuration, creating a dependency between the module WAR and EJB?

Which version of JBossAS do you use?

[betounisul]

jboss-4.2.3.GA

Create a application.xml with the correct order of modules. So in your case, list the WAR first and then the EJB jar. Then create a jboss-app.xml (if you don't already have one) and add the following to it:

<module-order>strict</module-order>

Place the jboss-app.xml in the META-INF of the EAR. This will ensure that the order in which the modules are listed in application.xml will be strictly followed.
