Application deployment order with weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and jndi-name

Question

I have two applicatation working on Weblogic server v. 10.3.6.
First of them creating one ejb stateless bean and creates JNDI maping for it (in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file):
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
     <ejb-name>ConfigMenegerBean</ejb-name>
     <stateless-session-descriptor>
     <stateless-session-descriptor>
          <business-interface-jndi-name-map>
          <business-remote>package.ConfigurationSessionRemote</business-remote>
          <jndi-name>ConfigMeneger</jndi-name>
          </business-interface-jndi-name-map>
     </stateless-session-descriptor>
     <enable-call-by-reference>true</enable-call-by-reference>
     <jndi-name>ConfigMeneger</jndi-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
Second appication have to refer for this bean by JNDI using spring been lookup :
<jee:jndi-lookup id="configManager" jndi-name="ConfigMeneger"/>
I changed deployment order parameter for both apllication(first=100 and second=500) in order to first app start first and share bean by jndi to another application. Unfortuantelly I got an error :
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve 'ConfigMeneger'. Resolved ''; remaining name 'ConfigMeneger'
How can I configure deployment order that first application make jndi mapping for bean, before the second application will use it ?

Ok in a way I have solved my problem (even if I am not completely satisfied by the way on how to proceed...). So thanks to message "JBuilder7.0 and Weblogic6.1" on EJB sun forum :

I have tried the following actions (mentionned in the other forum messages):
- To preserve changes to weblogic*.xml, the safest way is to change the ejb-borland.xml.
(I am not sure that I have applied this advice correctly, because I suppose that syntax is not similar in weblogic file or borland file).
And you can MANUALLY update the weblogic file in your JAR archive.
1. Open the EJB JAR file in Winzip and extract the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file, so that a copy exists in your
project directory.
2. Open this file (in Notepad), add the WebLogic specific information, and then save the file.
3. Now, when you are finished with the build cycle and are ready to deploy, you may open the EJB jar file
and swap in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file."
Good Luck.
