JBoss startup order

[david-brighton]

Hi, I have a strange Spring issue when starting Jboss 4.3, I have a Spring bean defined which is created and instanciated correctly during the initialisation of the Application Context but then later in the Jboss startup another bean is created which references my earlier bean but I get a message saying it cannot find the class for the referenced bean.

ie. Bean A

     Bean B ref Bean A

     Cannot find class for Bean A

Is there a config file that defines the order Jboss start processes etc during startup

You will need something like this in application.xml or jboss-app.xml but I cant find a concrete docs now:

application.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
