war deployment sequence under ear

Question

I'm new to this concept.

I'm having two wars under ear. War-1 is consisitng of one servlet with load on startup parameter, which I want to deploy first and after this is completed, War-2 should be deployed.How this can be done?

I'm using maven with Jboss7.1.1.Final.

Please help

You can use modules. Assuming your project looks like this :

• Ear (pom.xml)
  • War-1
  • War-2

Add pom files in War-1 and War-2 directories. The pom file in ear directory will be the parent, where you declare modules to be processed :

<modules>
    <module>War-1</module>
    <module>War-2</module>
</modules>

Maven will look-up for poms in War-1 and War-2 directories. Create a new pom in each one :

• Ear (pom.xml)
  • War-1 (pom.xml)
  • War-2 (pom.xml)

There, an abstract of pom.xml in each sub-module. Your have to declare the parent :

<parent>
    <artifactId>yourArtifact</artifactId>
    <groupId>yourGroup</groupId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>

<!-- Name your package as you like -->
<groupId>${project.parent.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${project.parent.artifactId}-War1</artifactId>
<name>${project.parent.artifactId}-War1</name>
<description>
    War of project ${project.parent.artifactId}
</description>

<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>war</packaging>

Is that what you were looking for ? You will find more information on modules at http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnex-book/reference/multimodule.html
