Ejb 3 Deployment separated into different jars that have persistence dependencies cause a jacc initialisation error

We separated the jboss trails deployment into two different jar's (persistence and stateless session beans).

The ear (ejb3-trials-ear.ear) contains two jar modules (ejb3-trials-ejb.jar & ejb3-trials-persistence.jar). The ejb3-trials-ejb.jar is deployed as fist module but it has a dependency to the ejb3-trials-persistence.jar because it uses the EntityManager from ejb3-trials-persistence.

Therefore the ejb container of ejb3-trials-ejb.jar is started after the ejb3-trials-ejb.jar modules. This causes an error with the jacc initialisation. The policy is committed before the ejb container could register is permissions. When the stateless ejb containers add the permissions afterwards, the committed policy will be removed and never committed again.

Because the ejb module commits the jacc policy, the ejb containers providing the permissions must be stated before the module.

Here the steps:

Ejb3Deployment.registerEJBContainer()
object name : jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,ear=ejb3-trials-ear.ear,jar=ejb3-trials-ejb.jar,name=EntityCalculator
dependencies : persistence.units:ear=ejb3-trials-ear.ear,unitName=ejb3-trials-persistence

Ejb3Module.startService()
service name : jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=ejb3-trials-ejb.jar

• JACC contextID ejb3-trials-ejb.jar is commited
  -> This is an error because it should be waited until ALL container of this module are started

Ejb3Module.startService()
service name: jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=ejb3-trials-persistence.jar

• dependencie from jar=ejb3-trials-ejb.jar to ejb3-trials-persistence.jar is resolved and the stateless container is started

StatelessContainer.start()
ejb3-trials-ejb.jar

• JACC contextID ejb3-trials-ejb.jar
  Adds stuff to the policy

Ejb3Module.startService()
service name: jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=ejb3-trials-persistence.jar
