Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Parallel initialization of more web applications in EAR

I think it is safe to say that it is our general policy to adhere to spec behavior. If an application is incorrect by spec, but happens to work with one app server, there can be no reasonable expectation for it to always work. This is because without a clear and specific additional specification which explains the deviating behavior, there is no way we can make any guarantees about compatibility. I don't foresee us, now or in the future, bending over backwards to guarantee permanent compatibility of non-spec-compliant apps (whether the spec is the Java EE spec or any additional guarantees or specifications we have implemented). In other words... without this switch there is no guarantee specified or implied about initialization order. Our policy will generally be "whichever order is the fastest possible while respecting dependencies, disregarding all other factors".
