      Add an EJB injecting the persistence unit, which prevents furhter module to be started before the prsistence unit is ready.

      import javax.persistence.PersistenceUnit;
      import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
      import javax.ejb.Singleton;

      I have an Seam2 EAR application (Blog example from Seam distribution) which almost always fails to deploy with

      javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Error looking up blogEntityManagerFactory, service service jboss.naming.context.java.blogEntityManagerFactory is not started
      

      The application.xml looks like this:

      The persistence unit is accessed in Seam via JNDI

      (components.xml)

       <persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager"                                                                                                                                                    
                                                  auto-create="true"

      This (usually) fails in the IndexerService, which is started automatically during servlet startup, as the java:/blogEntityManagerFactory is not yet ready.

      Note that in the application.xml the "initialize-in-order" is defined, so the web module should not start before the blog-ejb.jar ( which contains the persistence.xml), is started.

      Source of IndexerService:

      package actions;
      
      import javax.ejb.Remove;
      
      import org.hibernate.search.jpa.FullTextEntityManager;
      import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Create;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Startup;
      
      /**
       * Index Blog entry at startup
       *
       * @author Emmanuel Bernard
       * @author Sanne Grinovero
       */
      @Name("indexerService")
      @Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
      @Startup
      public class IndexerService
      {
         @In
         private FullTextEntityManager entityManager;
      
         @Create
         public void index() {
            entityManager.createIndexer().start();
         }
      
         @Remove
         @Destroy
         public void stop() {}
      }
      
      

      Also note that if I add the following bean to seam-ejb.jar it will correctly wait with the deployment of the web archive:

      import javax.persistence.PersistenceUnit;
      import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
      import javax.ejb.Singleton;
      import javax.ejb.Startup;
      
      @Singleton
      @Startup
      public class Aargh
      {
         @PersistenceUnit
         private EntityManagerFactory emf;
      }
      
      

      I believe this workaround shouldn't be necessary, and the initialize-in-order should also work with persistence units.

      This issue affects all Seam2 EAR applications which use seam-managed entity manager in a @Startup bean, or any other legacy applications accessing persistence units through JNDI.
