How do you prevent MDB processing until the server is fully intiialized?

Boss AS 7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT

I have an application (ear) that takes a couple of minutes to initialize, but the MDB gets deployed immediately and starts trying to process messages.

I would like to have the MDB start processing after the application server is fully initialized.

i.e. after this log is emitted

10:23:25,778 INFO  [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015874: JBoss AS 7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT "Steropes" started in 50638ms - Started 448 of 551 services (102 services are passive or on-demand)

The MDBs will start processing the messages as soon as all their dependencies are resolved and can do so. Does that cause a problem?

I don't have any @Denends annotation on my MDB. Is there a way to list the dependencies in a deployment descriptor (I am not allowed to put any app server specific annotations in the code)?
