You can setup dependencies between your components within those modules. But to do it correctly, you'll have to first tell us more about your application and what it contains. Also which components are you trying to order?

[samusev]

Abstract, my application structure (modules and dependencies) can be described as follows:

Modules:

EJB1 - pure ejb 3.0 (without jboss annotations and descriptors)

EJB2 - pure ejb 3.0 (without jboss annotations and descriptors)

EJB3 - jboss mbean (couple of classes and interfaces annotated by @Service and @Management respectively)

WAR1 - some war, without without jboss annotations and descriptors

WAR2 - similarly

ESB1 - jboss ESB module

Dependencies:

EJB1 depends on nothing

EJB2 depends on EJB1

EJB3 depends on EJB2, EJB1

WAR1 depens on EJB1

WAR2 depens on EJB2, EJB1

ESB1 depends on EJB1, EJB2, WAR2

Additionally, ESB1 is not necessary to deploy withing main EAR, instead of EJB's and WAR,s

So, I'm trying to put all of this modules into one ear and specify their order by application.xml and

jboss-app.xml

<jboss-app>

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

</jboss-app>

but (I already "googled" this) in AS 5.1.0.GA "<module-order>strict</module-order>" in deployment descriptor doesnt work.

Does it work on AS6?

[samusev]

Dont know...

In use AS 5.1.0.GA

[alesj]

Dont know...

In use AS 5.1.0.GA

What about if you try on AS6?

Or what's the reason you cannot change to AS6?

[samusev]

AS 5.1.0.GA is the limitation, that I cannot control.

Also, in use jboss esb 4.9, whitch not working at as 6.0.0
