Issue

• There is a way to order sub-deployments by setting initialize-in-order to true in application.xml, but SAR file is not a Java EE specification. How to make the SAR file to load before any other sub-deployment in the ear.
• Deployment order is ignored while using the war file and sar file in application.xml file in JBoss EAP 6.

• How to control the order of deployment when using SAR and WAR file in JBoss EAP 6?
