[jakartaee-platform-dev] Question about meaning of `initialize-in-order`

[Scott Marlow <smarlow@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to understand the original purpose of `initialize-in-order` [1] which seems likely to be implementation specific.  It is pretty clearly written to assume that top/sub modules are deployed in a specific ordering that the user specifies but there are no Jakarta EE Platform requirements that a single deployment thread is used, so its not really clear how [1] should be accomplished when multiple threads are used for deployment.

Do any EE implementations that handle deployment via multiple threads also support `initialize-in-order` [1] controlling the order that the multiple threads deploy each (sub)module in?
