What we talked about was to order war deployment contexts after all others in the deployment using the relative order as an implicit dependency. If a war starts after an ejb deployment which depends on a ds, the war is also started after the ds. We don't support the jndi event notification. Seems like a seam annotation deployer is needed to pull these dependencies into the JBossWebMetaData. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4125804#...
