Ok, I have been able to get the ordering correct by doing the following: 1. Put the deployment order in application.xml | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <application id="Application_ID" version="1.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd"> | <display-name>ear</display-name> | <module id="AWebModule_1189479168218"> | <web> | <web-uri>jsf.war</web-uri> | <context-root></context-root> | </web> | </module> | <module id="EjbModule_1190938532906"> | <ejb>ejb.jar</ejb> | </module> | </application> | 2. Create jboss-app.xml file and place under /META-INF directory in EAR: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <jboss-app> | <module-order>strict</module-order> | </jboss-app> | Unfortunately, I am running into another issue. When I undeploy the app, the MDBs are now undeploying first (which is good -- my web-app stays up until the MDBs are done undeploying presumably), BUT the MDBs continue to consume the JMS Queues. They won't shut down. I figured that the MDBs (currently running) would undeploy after finishing, but that isn't true. I understand this is getting off of the Forum Topic, and if you wish to move this Thread please do so. Thanks!
