We are facing a problem with accessing the database during the shutdown phase.

It looks like when our shutdown code tries to access the database - it is no longer available.

Our application is deployed as an EAR that has a SAR module to handle startup and shutdown.

We add our application specific startup and shutdown code in the corresponding MBean hooks.

In JBoss 7.0.2 and 7.1.1 we're encountering an error that shutdown code attempting to access the database is failing due to the fact that the connection manager is closed:

Is there a way to define a dependency so that the application would be stopped before connection manager?
