Scott Marlow [https://community.jboss.org/people/smarlow] created the discussion "Can @DataSourceDefinition be started earlier in WF8? Install phase is too late..." To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/822770#822770 -------------------------------------------------------------- Does IJ need to use the application classloader to load classes when starting a DataSourceDefinition?  If we only need to scan classes via jandex, there might not be any reason why we couldn't start the datasource during the Phase.FIRST_MODULE_USE (so that JPA persistence unit services can depend on @DataSourceDefinitions).
