    MBean Dependencies

    sateh

      I'm trying to make two MBeans deploy in the right order. But unfortunately not very succesful. This is with 3.2.6 and 3.2.7RC1.

      I've tried the following things:

      Put the two beans in one jboss-service.xml. The second bean defined is deployed first. Which is wrong.

      Then I switched the beans around in the jboss-service.xml. Now the first one (the wrong one) is deployed.

      Then I added depends tags to the beans like this:

       <mbean code="blah.jboss.SpringApplicationContext" name="blah:service=SpringApplicationContext">
       </mbean>
      
       <mbean code="blah.jboss.Foo" name="blah:service=Foo">
       <depends>blah:service=SpringApplicationContext</depends>
       </mbean>
      


      Nothing changed in the deployment order. The Foo bean's startService() is still executed before SpringApplicationContext's startService().

      Then I changed everything back and made two jboss-service.xml files and put those in the jboss-app.xml deployment descriptor in the right order. That did not work. The beans were still deployed in the wrong order.

      At last I gave the two descriptors ascending named in the jboss-app.xml (aaa-jboss-service.xml and bbb-jboss-service.xml), this also did not change the deployment order.

      I'm a bit confused now. What is the proper way to define the dependencies?
