Guys - I have battled thru a few dependency issues regarding ears and jars and sars, though this one I have left for a while but now is the time for me to resolve it. If I deploy my two ears and a sar (man what language is this anyway :-)) once JBoss 3.0.2 is running everything is ok. However, if I restart JBoss with them in the deploy directory then I get a problem with the sar file. The sar file includes an entity bean that persists some data associated with a timer that is also in the sar file. The entity bean persists to a mySQL database using CMP 2.0 and the problem I get is that the entity bean fails to deploy because it cannot find the data source java:/MySqlDS. I suspect that this is getting loaded later and that I may be able to use some form of dependency tags to sort this out. I just don't know if or where these tags should exist. Or if there is some other standard way of resolving the problem. I have started reading the paid for documentation but it looks like I have a lot of reading and I figured somebody in this group may be able to point me in the right direction. Any help out there? Regards and thanks in advance Alan.
