Re: [jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] - problems with an EAR file with MDBs

The 4 apps are very similar in the way they start (same code, different parameters), in the sense that they do contain a servlet (same servlet in each app) which should execute on startup. Indeed, the log messages are printed when the servlet finishes executing. What's bothering is that I don't see any exceptions anywhere (jboss logs, our own apps logs), so it looks like besides having JBoss recognize that there is a WAR which should be deployed (line with the ctxPath), nothing else happens. Also, the introduction of the MDB seems to be the trigger for the issue. For a test, I commented out in the publish.ear/META-INF/application.xml the ejb module. After restarting the server, all of the apps start correctly - see log underneath. Putting back the ejb module in the application.xml takes me back to the strange behavior, in which only EAC seems to start. *With the ejb module commented out in application.xml, everything starts ok.* * * 10:24:58,008 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/eac 10:24:59,469 INFO  [STDOUT] Initializing application.

I could see this happening if the JBoss server starts these apps somehow in parallel, with publish starting actually before jms finishing. If this is the case, is there any way to specify that I want these apps to start sequentially? thanks for any suggestion/ ranjix -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/546235#546235] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
