You can make the MDB depend upon that which must be deployed before the MDB is deployed. This can be set using the @Depends class-level annotation. For example, if there are two session beans that must be deployed prior to the MDB then add the following annotation. | @Depends({ | "jboss.j2ee:ear=myEar.ear,jar=myJarFile.jar,name=MySessionBean1,service=EJB3", | "jboss.j2ee:ear=myEar.ear,jar=myJarFile.jar,name=MySessionBean2,service=EJB3" | }) | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4020820#...
