Example of mbean that depends on tomcat barrier in JBoss EAP 5?

Issue

I have two projects:

• EJBProject, which has a stateless ejb - MyEjb with LocalBinding = "myejb/local".
• ServiceProject, which has MyService. MyService's start method looks up MyEjb with its local binding.

If the mbean declaration for MyService in ServiceProject's jboss-service.xml has:

1) no "<depends>" on MyEjb, then the exception: "myejb/local not bound" comes up. In the log, it looks like the mbean is started before the ejb is bound to the global jndi name. After the server starts up, I can see the ejb associated with the jndi name,

2) "<depends>jboss.j2ee:jar=myejbproject.jar,service=EJB3</depends>", then the dependency error "** NOT FOUND ** jboss.j2ee:jar=myejbproject.jar,service=EJB3" comes up.

3) "<depends>jboss.j2ee:jar=myejbproject.jar,name=MyEjb,service=EJB3</depends>", then "org.jboss.ejb3.common.registrar.spi.NotBoundException: Object is bound at key jboss.j2ee:jar=myejbproject.jar,name=MyEjb,service=EJB3, but is not fully installed, instead of state: ControllerState@18faa02{Start}".

I made sure that the deployment order in deployers.xml is EJBProject followed by ServiceProject and it does deploy this way. I have searched extensively over the internet and in tutorials but can't seem to go anywhere.

If it matters, the EJBProject has a bunch of MDB's, which depend on a Barrier and the barrier deployment has the error - Deployment "<UNKNOWN jboss.j2ee:jar=myejbproject.jar,name=MyCMDB,service=EJB3>" is in error due to the following reason(s): ** UNRESOLVED Demands 'jboss:name=MyBarrier,type=Barrier' **

When having <depends>jboss.j2ee:jar=myejbproject.jar,name=MyEjb,service=EJB3</depends> , it looks like the service can get a handle to the ejb proxy. The error comes up when calling a method on this proxy.

Som EJBUtility.getBean("myejb/local") returns a non-null object, but accessing any method on that object throws the NotBoundException.

I looked at the java code for "org.jboss.ejb3.common.registrar.plugin.mc.Ejb3McRegistrar.lookup" (which throws the exception). There is a flag called checkInstalled, which remains false. I am not sure what exactly "installed" means and how to install this Ejb.

The barrier depends on serverpeer (<depends>jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer</depends>), which doesn’t seem to start. The error messages say:
-     Dependency "jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer" (should be in state "Create", but is actually in state "** NOT FOUND Depends on 'jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer' **")
-     Deployment "jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer" is in error due to the following reason(s): ** NOT FOUND Depends on 'jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer' **

Thank you,
