It makes a sense to me , but I was thinking of a way to get the a proper ordering as i could get by introcuing some delay or by System.nanoTime() usage . Anyway I think I will continue with this . Well I dont think I need to create a seperate EAR , I will use the \unpacked-ear2.ear from the testsuite which I have been doing during executing the test suites till now .
