Deployment order and @Depends annotation

[jesla]

Hi,

I have an ear package (named contact.ear) which classes I would like to use within another package (contactws.jar). Everything works fine if I first deploy the ear and then the another package. However, in normal situation (e.g. on server restart) the deployment order is different and contact.jar won?t deploy.

My question is, could I influence the deployment order with @Depends annotation and if so, what parameters (i.e. ear=contact.ear, jar...) give?

Regards, Matti

Btw. contactinfo/ejb/Info is entity bean.

Hi,

I managed to find a workaround for my problem: the trick was to package the contactws.jar into contactws.ear with appropriate application.xml.

I can't say what exactly was wrong with the earlier attempt. Some sort of class loading/scoping issue I guess.
