How to order deployment of EJBs and JMS queue config?
mluisbrown Jan 6, 2011 9:01 AMI have an EAR which contains an EJB jar that contains some MDBs which depend on the existence of the JMS queues that they use. When I configured the queues in .../server/all/deploy/messaging/myqueues-service.xml there was no problem. However, I wanted to configure the queues in the EAR file to avoid having to make changes to the JBoss config directly. No problem, I put my myqueues-service.xml file into the root of the EAR and added the reference to my jboss-app.xml:
<jboss-app>
<module-order>strict</module-order>
<loader-repository>
seam.jboss.org:loader=pce-ear.ear
</loader-repository>
<module>
<service>gfdqueue-service.xml</service>
</module>
</jboss-app>
<jboss-app> <module-order>strict</module-order> <loader-repository> seam.jboss.org:loader=my-ear.ear </loader-repository> <module> <service>myqueues-service.xml</service> </module> </jboss-app>
However, when I do that, JBoss loads the EJB jar (contained in my-ear.ear) first and then configures the JMS Queues afterwards. This results in errors when the MDB are loaded:
12:16:02,714 WARN [JmsActivation] Failure in jms activation org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.JmsActivationSpec@13a59e ..... javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: MyQueue not bound
It's not a huge problem, as later on the MDBs successfully reconnect to JMS:
12:16:12,698 INFO [JmsActivation] Attempting to reconnect org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.JmsActivationSpec@f91ad5 12:16:12,823 INFO [JmsActivation] Reconnected with messaging provider.
But I'd really like to avoid having any errors, and in order to do that I need a way to force JBoss to configure the JMS queues first, before loading the EJB jar. Is there any way to do this? For reference, here's the application.xml for the EAR:
<application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:application="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd" version="5"> <display-name>my-ear</display-name> <module> <ejb>my-ejb.jar</ejb> </module> <module> <web> <web-uri>my.war</web-uri> <context-root>myroot</context-root> </web> </module> </application>
Any suggestions appreciated. Oh yeah, I'm using JBoss [EAP] 5.0.0.GA.
