Control order of WAR file deployment in JBoss EAP 7.2.0

Question

I have developed two Spring Boot applications, one is Cloud Config Server and the other is a Spring Boot application that fetches property from Config Server. I have deployed the two applications as WAR files in JBoss EAP. I am deploying the WAR files in sequence, deploying the Config Server before the other application. Problem is happening after I restart the server, the second war file is getting deployed before the war file for Config Server.

I Jboss EAP 7.2.0, how will I ensure that the WAR file for Config Server is always deployed before the WAR file of the other application?

Answer 1

You can control the startup order of deployment by using jboss-all.xml deployment descriptor to declare dependencies between the deployments.

Example: If you want foo.ear is deployed before bar.ear then you can create an bar.ear/META-INF/jboss-all.xml file like this:

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