[jboss-dev] ObjectName property order

[Adrian]

The problem is caused by the integration between the MC and JMX.

MC uses Strings for its names so it won't understand reordering of
properties if you reference/inject a JMX ObjectName.

For this reason, I took the decision that when you create a
ServiceControllerContext it takes the canonical name
and registers that in the MC.

It does the same for all references to ObjectNames, e.g.
dependencies and everywhere else in the api.

There is no reason why the example you post shouldn't be working.
The <depends/> should be converted into with mc depdency with the
canonical name.

If you can reproduce the problem, add a test to the system-jmx project
in the appserver.

Just saying "IT DOES NOT WORK" and posting a random xml snippet doesn't
really help me in reproducing the problem.
