Our webapp is deployed via context-file conf/jboss.web/localhost/app.xml The automatic deployment is realized thru 2 modifications in server.xml: <Host name="localhost" autoDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="true" Using this strategy, the webapp is deployed _before_ the datasource. Hence, the webapp cannot startup due to the missing datasource. What is the simplest recipe to get the datasources deployed before the war? Is it necessary to change the EnhancedSuffixOrder-property of the MainDeployer? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4176178#...
