According to the wiki page at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ServiceLifecycle , the service lifecycle for two Services A and B is as follows.
If Service B is dependent on Service A, the startup sequence is the following. ServiceA.createService(); ServiceB.createService(); ServiceA.startService(); ServiceB.startService(); It appears that this is only true if Service A and Service B are defined in the same service file. If the services are defined in different files, the startup sequence is the following. ServiceA.createService(); ServiceA.startService(); ServiceB.createService(); ServiceB.startService(); Obviously this difference is significant for any service that needs to be created before the primary service is started. Is this intentional (or am I overlooking something)? I haven't found any reference to this behavior in JBoss doc. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
