Are you sure it is that hard to understand or do? Usually the default order of peer subpackages works fine: if you want something else you can use nesting.
I think that if we can convert jndi dependencies into mbean dependencies a lot of problems will go away without any more deployment descriptors such as an explicit list of what order to deploy subpackages in. For instance, I would like to convert a resource-ref into an mbean dependency on the e.g. connection factory so the ejb won't deploy until the connection factory is set up. Similarly, ejb-links can be converted into mbean dependencies so the ejb will just wait to start until all the others it uses are available. david jencks On 2002.03.12 22:21:40 -0500 Scott M Stark wrote: > Having to nest jars in a particular manner to achieve the correct > deployment ordering certainly is not simple.
