Race condition during server start-up - RA not deployed in JBoss EAP 6

Issue

• We have run into the following bugs in our testing of JBoss EAP version 6.1.0:

  • "Race condition during server start-up - RA not deployed"
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984855

• We defined our resource adapter in the resource-adapters subsystem, it should bind a JNDB name MyRANoTx, which another one of our deployments is trying to lookup.

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.1">
            <resource-adapters>
                <resource-adapter id="MyRA.rar">
                    <archive>
                        MyRA.rar
                    </archive>
                    <transaction-support>NoTransaction</transaction-support>
                    <connection-definitions>
                        <connection-definition class-name="com.jboss.examples.connector.MyManagedConnectionFactory" jndi-name="java:/MyRANoTx" pool-name=MyRANoTx"/>
                    </connection-definitions>
                </resource-adapter>
            </resource-adapters>
        </subsystem>

• The deployment fails sometimes because the resource-adapter has not bound into JNDI in time:
