How to resolve circular dependency
I have 2 EARs deployed in the server : library.ear and application.ear.Later(application.ear) already have dependencies from former(library.ear).
Scenario:
The library.ear performs some action and publishes an event that is processed by a MessageListenerBean class in application.ear.The MessageListenerBean in turn publishes events using libray's EventPublisher that are processed by MessageListenerBean2.
Trying to summarize the workflow with the stacktrace,
at com.library.Action(Action.java:59)
at com.library.EventPublisher.publish(EventPublisher.java:132)
at com.application.ear.MessageListenerBean.onMessage
at com.library.EventPublisher.publish(EventPublisher.java:132)
at com.application.ear.MessageListenerBean2.onMessage
The MessageListenerBean2 refers to many classes from application.ear/lib.Following Exception is thrown by JBoss,
com.emc.application.AssignationEvent from [Module "org.hornetq:main" from local module loader @5464ea66 (roots: C:\JBoss7Migration\jboss-as-7.1.0.CR1b\modules)]

Please note that all these MessageListeners are synchronous listeners and not MDBs.
How exactly the classloading works ?
A.jar --> B.jar --> C.jar.
Assume that each of these jars contain jboss-deployment-structure.xml
1) Class CA1 in A.jar invokes a method of an Object(CB1) in B.jar
2) Now, when CB1 invokes a method of an object in C.jar, which module dependecies(which deployment XML) will be considered during method invocation ?
