title: Can someone tell me from this log file if openejb is starting before or after my webapp
body: <p>I am running an enterprise Java app, using openEJB's TomEE++. The app is being started from within Eclipse Helios. I have changed the 'server Locations' in Eclipse, to allow Eclipse to take charge of Tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>When I start the application from within Eclipse, I get some strange JPA errors, which I am thinking might come from the fact that the openejb webapp is being loaded after my webapp, called 'slides'</p>
  
  <p>I have changed the load-on-startup value of my webapp in web.xml to 20, while openejb has a value of 0.</p>
  
  <p>From the console's output, I am not able to figure out if openejb is starting before or after my application. The logs seem to be a bit contradictory. </p>
  
  <p>Right at the begining, I can see </p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: OpenEJB webapp was not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which seems to suggest that openejb did not start. But soon after that I see lines such as </p>
  
  <pre><code>INFO: OpenWebBeans Container is starting...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which in my limited knowledge would come from openejb.</p>
  
  <p>After that a bunch of things happen, including the startup of several apps, including mine.</p>
  
  <pre><code>TomcatWebAppBuilder.start /slides
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After that, I spot a line which suggests that openejb has started</p>
  
  <pre><code>TomcatWebAppBuilder.start /openejb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, what exactly is happening ? Is openejb starting before or after my application ? </p>
  
  <p>Posting the logs below:</p>
