Well, to address that, I tried to add explicitely the openejb  
context before
MyWebApp :



    &lt;Context docBase="openejb" /&gt;
    &lt;Context docBase="../../target/MyWebApp" /&gt;

If you add the OpenEJBListener to the server.xml file, OpenEJB will  
always initialize first.  Simply copy the openejb-javaagent.jar file  
to the Tomcat lib directory, and add this declaration at the top of  
the server.xml file:

  <!-- OpenEJB plugin for Tomcat -->
  <Listener className="org.apache.openejb.loader.OpenEJBListener" />

Since Tomcat starts components in the order they are declared in the  
server.xml file, OpenEJB will guaranteed to be running by the time  
your application is deployed.
