Try setting your dependency on "jboss.ra.hornetq-ra" and let me know if that works.

I fixed via dumb way:

1. Made a web-application with ServletContextListener which tries to lookup for java:/JmsXA in a loop until it is available (actually after HornetQ startup)

2. Add a jboss-all.xml dependencies to all other deployments so they depend on my webapp deployment

3. Profit!!!111

Could not attach files, so the sources inlined:

@WebListener
public class StartupListener implements ServletContextListener {


  private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory
  .getLogger(StartupListener.class);


  public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
  InitialContext ctx;
  try {
  ctx = new InitialContext();
  } catch (Throwable t) {
  throw new RuntimeException(t);
  }
  Object jmsXA = null;
  while (true) {
  try {
  jmsXA = ctx.lookup("java:/JmsXA");
  if (jmsXA != null) {
  LOGGER.info("JmsXA found to be started");
  break;
  }
  Thread.sleep(1000);
  } catch (Exception e) {
  LOGGER.info("Waiting for JmsXA to start...");
  LOGGER.trace("Exception looking up JmsXA", e);
  try {
  Thread.sleep(1000);
  } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
  LOGGER.warn("Interrupted waiting for JmsXA to start");
  }
  }
  }
  }


  public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
  // nothing
  }
}
