[jboss-dev-forums] [Deployers on JBoss (Deployers/JBoss)] - Re: Ordering of .ear subdeployments

This change has broken the use case where a datasource is packaged in an ear with an ejb jar that use the datasource. See http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3503 for the problem. The testcase deploys test-cif.ear. The ear includes an ejb jar and a -ds.xml file for the datasource. The ejbs fail to deploy due to the inability to find java:/CIFTestDS in JNDI. Looking at the log, service jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=CIFTestDS and the other datasource related services are started *after* the ejbs, which explains the failure. My *guess* as to what is going on is the services are ordered based on their ordering within the deployment descriptors. A side affect is those listed in application.xml come before those listed in jboss-app.xml. The ds can only be listed in jboss-app.xml, so it comes later. The JBAS-2904 work removed the subsequent comparator-based sorting that would have put the ds before the ejb jar.
