Dependency in Ear file

[javajoy]

Gurus:

I have an ear file (Ear2.ear) with a web service client.  Ear1.ear is another ear file that actually has the web service.  On JBoss startup, the client connects to the web service and do some stuff.  But it appears Ear2.ear loads first and since the client can not find the web service JBoss stalls.

How can I make sure Ear1.ear loads before Ear2.ear?

Thanks

I too have a similar scenario, did you find the solution to this?

Thanks!!

There have been various ideas posted on the web including the Jboss community.  For example, you may give this a try https://community.jboss.org/message/200060.

None of those ideas worked for me.  Eventually I used timer service to delay the instantiation of the dependent bean.

Good luck!
