How to set deployment order of two ears in Wildfly

Question

I've some issue regarding the deployment order of two applications inside Wildfly 8.1. The problem is that some modules of app2.ear depends of modules from app1.ear, but app1.ear is deployed after app2.ear.

I've tried to specify a dependency for app1 like this:

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <deployment>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="app2.ear" />
    </dependencies> 
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

But no luck, app1.ear fails to deploy with this error:

{"JBAS014671: Failed services" ... Caused by: org.jboss.modules.ModuleNotFoundException: app2.ear:main"}}

Any idea if it is possible and how to dot it ?

Thx in advance.

Specify the dependencies in META-INF/jboss-all.xml.

So for your app2.ear it can look like:

<jboss xmlns="urn:jboss:1.0">
    <jboss-deployment-dependencies xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-dependencies:1.0">
        <dependency name="app1.ear" />
    </jboss-deployment-dependencies>
</jboss>
