How to specify Message Driven Bean dependencies in JBOSS 7 EJB 3?

Question

I have two message driven beans on which I need to specify a dependency. The dependency is a WEB app. So, basically I need to say "Halt the deployment of Message Driven Beans until the WEB app has fully deployed"? I could easily do this in JBOSS 5 by using depends-on element but I'm unable to find a similar element in JBOSS 7 EJB 3.

In application.xml configuration file, you can specify the order of the modules to be deployed by the server. Below is the sample configuration for deployment, modify it accordingly.

<initialize-in-order>true</initialize-in-order> 
     <display-name>DeploymentConfig</display-name> 
          <module> 
         <web> 
             <web-uri>WebApp.war</web-uri> 
             <context-root>WebApp-war</context-root> 
         </web> 
     </module> 
     <module> 
         <ejb>EJBApp.jar</ejb> 
     </module> 
     <module> 
         <ejb>AppEAR.jar</ejb> 
     </module>

I believe this is what you're looking for - Classloading in AS 7 . It describes how to set dependencies on other deployed modules and / or AS internal modules as well.
