Deploy order in Mobicents JAIN SLEE

Question

I`m trying to launch Mobicents USSD Gateway. Right now the problem is following: Jboss is trying to deploy module before he deploys its dependencies hence returning the error:

SLEE DUs not deployed, due to missing dependencies:
file:/mobicents-jainslee-2.7.0.FINAL-jboss-5.1.0.GA/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/mobicents-ussd-gateway/services-DU-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar/
    Missing Dependencies:
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_REQUEST,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_DELIMITER,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.REJECT_COMPONENT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]

        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_TIMEOUT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_REJECT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_CLOSE,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.service.suplementary.UNSTRUCTURED_SS_RESPONSE,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]

        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.ERROR_COMPONENT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_USERABORT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.INVOKE_TIMEOUT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        EventTypeID[name=ss7.map.DIALOG_ACCEPT,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]
        MAPRA

I`ve tried to set up dependencies to deployment unit services-DU-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar via jboss-deployement-structure.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
    <dependencies>
      <module name="mobicents-slee-ra-jdbc-DU-1.0.0.FINAL.jar" />
      <module name="mobicents-slee-ra-map-du-2.8.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" />
    </dependencies>
  </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

But this time he continues to try to install services-DU first, then reports missing dependencies, then succussfully installs dependencies, then tries to install services-DU again and throws exception:

2014-12-05 07:19:24,826 ERROR [org.mobicents.slee.container.deployment.jboss.DeploymentManager] (main) Failure invoking 'InstallDeployableUnitAction[file:/mobicents-jainslee-2.7.0.FINAL-jboss-5.1.0.GA/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/mobicents-ussd-gateway/services-DU-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar/]

    at org.mobicents.slee.container.deployment.jboss.SLEESubDeployer.start(SLEESubDeployer.java:281)

I suppose it is a deploy order problem, but maybe I`m wrong and it is somethinf different. Can anyone help me with this?

This is not going to be a real answer... but someone may find it useful.

I'm having exactly the same problem with those jBoss deployment logs. I don't know how to solve it, but at least in my case, jBoss continue logging messages and finally it starts the UssdGateway. Here there are some logs after those errors:

11:21:26,288 INFO [UssdPropertiesManagement] (main) Loading USSD Properties from /home/ericsson/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/UssdManagement_ussdproperties.xml 11:21:26,295 INFO [ShortCodeRoutingRuleManagement] (main) Loading short code routig rule configuration from /home/ericsson/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/UssdManagement_scroutingrule.xml 11:21:26,295 WARN [ShortCodeRoutingRuleManagement] (main) Failed to load the short code routig rule configuration file. /home/ericsson/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/UssdManagement_scroutingrule.xml (No such file or directory) 11:21:26,302 INFO [UssdManagement] (main) Started UssdManagement 11:21:26,332 INFO [ShellServer] (main) Starting SS7 management shell environment 11:21:26,350 INFO [ShellServer] (main) ShellExecutor listening at /127.0.0.1:3435 11:21:26,510 INFO [Http11Protocol] (main) Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-127.0.0.1-8080 11:21:26,549 INFO [AjpProtocol] (main) Starting Coyote AJP/1.3 on ajp-127.0.0.1-8009 11:21:26,566 INFO [ServerImpl] (main) JBoss (Microcontainer) [5.1.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_5_1_0_GA date=200905221634)] Started in 1m:7s:690ms

And the gateway is funtional, because I was able to test it with the SS7 simulator, and the TestServlet was instanciated. In fact, I was able to test it with a real HLR, so it kind of works. Now we have to code some developments on top of it...

For that error, and what can imply... I still do not have an answer. Anyway, if I finally guess how to fix it, I will update this text.

Just a final comment... To build this mobicents solution, it was a real pain. The original instructions in DeployUSSDGWFromTrunk fail. I wasn't able to make it run, and it took us (a mate and me) about a week to make it compile and run, reading many google groups posts, and changing random stuff through the pom's.

Finally we got it running, but I still have that feeling that it is not a very good development base.
