ordering which apps load first

[lords_diakonos]

Ihave about 8 wars deployed to jboss all exploded and 3 ears not exploded. I need to setup the order in which they are deployed on startup.

How do I do that. Thank you

The DeploymentScanner is meant for this. Have a look at the same in jboss-service.xml present in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/conf directory which contain the following:

<!-- The URLComparator can be used to specify a deployment ordering
for deployments found in a scanned directory. The class specified
must be an implementation of java.util.Comparator, it must be able
to compare two URL objects, and it must have a no-arg constructor.
Two deployment comparators are shipped with JBoss:
- org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentSorter
Sorts by file extension, as follows:
"sar", "service.xml", "rar", "jar", "war", "wsr", "ear", "zip",
"*"
- org.jboss.deployment.scanner.PrefixDeploymentSorter
If the name portion of the url begins with 1 or more digits, those
digits are converted to an int (ignoring leading zeroes), and
files are deployed in that order. Files that do not start with
any digits will be deployed first, and they will be sorted by
extension as above with DeploymentSorter.
-->
<attribute name="URLComparator">org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentSorter</attribute>

You can even specify your own DeploymentScanner.

The previous post got distorted. Here's the contents from jboss-service.xml:
