Making a SAR dependent on a datasource (AS7.1)

[kc7bfi]

I am using JBoss AS7.1 and am deploying a SAR that has a persistence.xml and depends on a datasource. However, when I start the host controller the start starts before the datasource starts and the datasource is bound to a JNDI name. Is there a way to make the SAR depenent upon the datasource and its JNDI name? David

How are you deploying the datasource? I had thought that the persistence unit processing would actually setup a dependency on the JNDI name of the datasource to handle this scenario.

It seems to be some kind of race condition where the SAR services are started before the datasource if fully started and bound to its JNDI name. Inside my SAR I have a META-INF/persistence.xml and JBoss sees it an reads it and then starts the services. If I look in the services for a few seconds then the datasource has time to start and I can then bind to the JNDI name. David

I think you missed a part of my reply. How do you deploy the datasource?

The datasource is defined in the domain.xml file and there is also a META-INF/persistence.xml in my SAR file. david
