Bundled WAR's and dependencies

Question

Hi guys,
I am able to setup a bundled war that has a bundle dependency successfully, where the dependency is placed as library extension. Is there a way to deploy this dependency as a CEP application? or a library module?
The order of initialization as I startup is lib/ext -> webapp -> modules -> CEP app
And placing it as module or CEP App throws exceptions.
Is there a way to control it such that a webapp is initialized last?
Also, I'm using spring-osgi to wire osgi services to the CEP app but I am receiving a NullPointerException.
It seems that the ApplicationContext in /META-INF/spring is not being loaded by the CEP server.
In Spring DM documentation, it says that I have to bootstrap the context using the "webapp" way, and use a different ApplicationContext implementation, namely
org.springframework.osgi.web.context.support.OsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext.
Is this the correct way to do it in Oracle CEP?
Thanks!

If it helps, I have this in my web.xml:
     <context-param>
          <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-*.xml</param-value>
     </context-param>
Though there is no files inside WEB-INF.
