1. Re: SAR Deployment Deployers Ordering
To clarify our question:
When we have pure .war archive (containing web services) in deploy directory,
the deployment process passes on AS bootstrap (our PostJSE deployer is called after Tomcat is started).
When we have .sar archive containing .war archive (containing web services),
the deployment process fails on AS bootstrap (our PostJSE deployer is called before Tomcat is started). -
2. Re: SAR Deployment Deployers Ordering
Deployers order is deterministic.
Even if that's not the case (e.g. possible bug),
there is no way the order is changed during deploy.
Since this example indicates that deployers order is different
when you have pure .war vs. war wrapped in .sar - during deploy on the same instance.
What might be different is that top level deployments are ordered by LegacyComparator,
- see deployers.xml and ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml -
where other sub deployments are only ordered by relative order or name.
But that shouldn't affect deployers order, only deployment order.
Although with dependencies done right, this shouldn't matter anyway. ;-) -

You're right, this is better said. The deployment order has changed not deployers order."alesj" wrote:

So it is expected that .sar archive (defining e.g. custom MC beans) should define dependency on other MC beans to ensure correct deployment order of such .sar?
I'm asking because I'd like to deploye simple .sar archive without MC beans containing just e.g. .war archive only). I'd like to see the same deployment order of nested .war vs. standalone .war? How could we ensure this Ales? -

See how we do it for EARStructure in ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml.
--> comparator setting
Try doing the same for JARStructure (that's the structure that handles .sar).
Or use custom jboss-structure.xml in your .sar (see examples of this in Deployers project),
setting the comparator attribute on context element.
Note: this requires deployers 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT, as I've just added this comparator attribute :-)

What is the difference between deployers 2.0.0 and 2.2.0? Will 2.2.0 be incorporated in JBossAS 500 GA? -

No, 2.0.0 is.
2.2.0 is currently our dev branch == trunk.
2.0.0. gets non-api-breaking fixes from trunk.
This new comparator addition doesn't break API,
hence it's gonna be part of 2.0.0.
btw: I'm just doing releases ;-) -
7. Re: SAR Deployment Deployers Ordering
I'm almost there Ales ;)
There's just one problem remaining.
My .sar is loaded first, jbossweb.sar is loaded later.
How could I reorganize/force the .sars deployment order?
Note I have no MC beans in my .sar archive. -

Either rename your .sar to be lexicographically after jbossweb.sar,
or change topDeploymentComparator in MainDeployer.
Or perhaps some introduction of explicit dependency
to whatever you depend in jbossweb. -

How to achieve this without MC beans? Where could I find this usecase examples? -

No. Why would that make sense?
Wait for a better answer as I do more investigation. ;-) -

What do you have in your .sar? MBeans?
With MC handling all components (read my article ;-)),
MBeans can now also depend on MC pojos.
Or perhaps you could add jboss-classloading.xml into your sar,
where you would declare dependency on jbossweb.sar module.
I guess we already enabled this in MC. :-) -
