EAR file module SubDeployment ordering

[pakemann]

Is it possible to configure 4.0.5 to deploy modules in an ear file in the order they are listed in application.xml?

I have some code I need to execute at the end of the deployment of an EAR file and this seems like the best way to do it.

I found discussions in the developer forum on the topic of respecting application.xml ordering, but I am not clear if the matter was resolvced, and if so, how to go about actually doing it.

If anyone could help with an explanation of how exactly to do this, (or alternate suggestions on how to approach the problem) I would greatly appreciate it.

I received a reply From Vicky Kak on this with the corrected syntax:

<module-order>>strict|implicit</module-order>

tag in jboss-app.xml. This is supported in Jboss 4.0.5 and later.

Hello pakemann,

can you send an example of your jboss-app.xml which uses the <module-order> tag?
If I have a look at the JBOSS_HOME/docs/dtd folder I cannot find a dtd for jboss-app.xml which contains the module-order tag.

Best regards,
Jochen

Sorry I didn't nitice your post earlier.

My jboss-app.xml is pretty straightforward:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-app>
<module-order>strict</module-order>
</jboss-app>


I am still wondering about module un-deploy order. Good Luck!

Hello pakemann,

thanks for providing your jboss-app.xml.
I have deployed the same jboss-app.xml to my ear's META-INF folder. But this didn't change the deployment order. JBoss still does not recognize the module ordering in the application.xml.
I am using JBoss 5. As I read you are using JBoss 4.0.5. Does anybody know if this is broken in JBoss 5?

Best regards,
Jochen
