messages dispatch to MDBeans started before referenced CMP beans are properly initialised ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3159 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3159 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: EJB2 Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.CR2 Environment: All (java logic) Reporter: cbrettin Since 4.0.4RC1 EjbModule startup has been changed (v 1.69) to start up persistence of entity beans after all other startup calls have been made (to address JBAS-993). MDBean start up in the first phase also causes endpoint activation (via the proxy factory startup) - allowing message flow to start. As a result the MDBean can be called before Entity persistence in the same module is properly started leading to intermittent illegal state exceptions when messsge processing causes calls to the unready entity beans. A solution analogous to the entity startup changes is probably needed ensuring that endpoint activation occurs last (after persistence startup).
