In JBoss 4.2.3 is there any way to change the order that EARDeployer loads/deploys the various .ear files?

Question

I have 3 ear files and I want to control the order they are loaded. Any configuration that I can do to achieve this? (no, I don't want to rename my ears 1.ear 2.ear, etc...)

Answer 1

See the section Deployment Sorter you can choose between EnhancedSuffixOrder and PrefixDeploymentOrder.
