[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/BPEL-291?page=all ] Alejandro Guizar updated BPEL-291: ---------------------------------- Description: There is an issue with the deployment order in JBoss AS which results in exceptional behavior upon server restart: WARs are deployed before EARs. The jBPM BPEL classes are deployed in an EAR, whereas the web services provided by each process definition are deployed as WARs. Upon restart, the service WARs get deployed before jbpm-bpel.ear, causing ClassNotFoundExceptions to be thrown around. There is no way to fix this on the jBPM side, as it is a JBoss AS *feature*. Fortunately it is easy to change the deployment order in JBoss AS. See the following wiki page for a full description. http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=MainDeployerEnhancedSuffixOrder The quick and direct solution is: 1. Edit <jboss_server_profile>/conf/xmdesc/org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer-xmbean.xml 2. Look for attribute EnhancedSuffixOrder 3. Insert suffix jbpm-bpel.ear anywhere you see fit, *before* the .war suffix. For example: 250:.rar,300:-ds.xml,400:.jar,450:jbpm-bpel.ear,500:.war,550:.jse,650:.ear,800:.bsh Et voilà, jbpm-bpel.ear will be deployed before the .war modules, without affecting the deployment order of other modules. This solution must be documented in the user guide. was: There is an issue with the deployment order in JBoss AS which results in exceptional behavior upon server restart: WARs are deployed before EARs.
