Deployment order for MDBs and RAs is not working for a packaged EAR
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-2505
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2505
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Deployment, EJB, JCA
    Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Alpha1, 7.0.2.Final
         Environment: Windows 7 64-bit
            Reporter: Abhi S
            Assignee: Thomas Diesler
            Priority: Critical


If an application is packaged with MDBs and RAs (resource adapters) such that the order of deployment of these modules needs to be deterministic, the application fails to load.  In other words, there is no way to define the order in which MDBs and RAs must be loaded in an application.  This is a strict requirement by JEE 6, and without this support, JBoss 7 cannot be fully JEE 6 compliant.

Theoretically, following are 3 different ways to accomplish the above objective:
# Set <initialize-in-order> to true; see http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd. This seems to be fixed in AS7-325, but I tested it using a sample application, and this definitely does not work for MDBs and RAs.
# Add jboss-ejb3.xml in the MDB jar's MATA-INF to define the MDB's dependency on an RA.  Adding this configuration MUST ensure that the application loader loads the RA before trying to load the MDB.
# Add org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Depends annotation on the MDB implementation, to do the same as #2.

None of the above work in the nightly build of AS7.1.
