This is because the unit of work is the individual deployment. The URLDeploymentScanner finds your -service.xml file, passes it to the MainDeployer, who passes it to the SARDeployer. SARDeployer tells ServiceController to instantiate and configure all mbeans declared in the file. Then it tells ServiceController to create them. At that point, the ServiceController resolves all dependencies it's aware of; if there are no unsatisfied dependencies it creates the mbeans, and creates any other mbeans *it is currently aware of* whose dependencies are now satisfied. Then the SARDeployer tells ServiceController to start all mbeans declared in the file. Same process of dependency resolution occurs.
Any services in other files the URLDeploymentScanner hasn't processed yet don't factor in the process. Will this be different with the Profile Service? I.e. will the "unit of work" be the entire profile, such that all services in the profile can count on: ServiceA.createService(); ServiceB.createService(); ServiceA.startService(); ServiceB.startService(); [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > 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.
