In JBoss, we are currently using a startup/deployment sequence that goes something like this:
1. Each component gets all its config values, and has "create" called. It is expected to make things it exposes to the outside world available, but not be able to do anything yet. 2. Each component gets "start" called: it is expected to look around for the components it needs to do its work, and get ready to work. I don't think this would be relevant to ant, but if a needed component is missing, the needing component waits to start till it appears. Just to be gratuitous, I'll repeat my assertion that a lot of aspects of ant might be simpler if it was built using jmx. thanks david jencks On 2002.03.01 06:43:44 -0500 Conor MacNeill wrote: > I have been debugging a mutant Gump error.
