I am working on a JBoss J2EE application.

I met a problem when I used MBean which depend on some EJBs.

How can an MBean depend on a SessionBean?

In JBoss4 I find a way to specify MBean depends on some SessionBeans by adding below words in jboss-app.xml

<module-order>strict</module-order>


Now we are working on JBoss5.1, it seems doesn't work on JBoss5.1
I only find the similar function by the annotation 'depends' or xml setting like below.
@Depends({"jboss.j2ee:ear=slam-slaengineear-1.0-SCALABILITY.ear,jar=slam-persistence-slaengine-1.0-SCALABILITY.jar,name=SLAPollingConfigDAOBean,service=EJB3",
"jboss.j2ee:ear=slam-slaengineear-1.0-SCALABILITY.ear,jar=tt-rawevent-ctr-1.0-SCALABILITY.jar,name=TTRawEventControllerBean,service=EJB3",
"jboss.j2ee:ear=slam-slaengineear-1.0-SCALABILITY.ear,jar=tt-rawevent-ctr-1.0-SCALABILITY.jar,name=IncidentRawEventControllerBean,service=EJB3"})

But I don't want to keep this way because it is not a elegant way and I have to specify all references EJBs in the annotation.

Do you have any idea on it?
