I saw a posting on this earlier, but it didn't seem to get to the root of the problem. I deploy a new jar once jboss is running, and its fine. But when I restart jboss, it tries to load the jar before binding the DefaultDS.

I suspect the answer lies in the deployment descriptor, but do I have to set up an mbean for each ejb I have?

If I have to number the jar file, is there an easy way to make sure that a dependent resource is up? In other words, how do I get the dependency into my jar without making an MLET?
