Description

Components are loaded in the order they are found (i.e. alphabetic or creation date). This can be altered. We have a pending feature support for ofbiz-component, for creating a series of dependency for component loading, before loading a particular component.
 
Here we can define dependency for a component like Component ebaystore is dependent on Component ebay (even multiple dependencies for a single component is also supported). We can declare it in this fashion in ofbiz-component.xml file.
 

<ofbiz-component name="ebaystore" enabled="true"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ofbiz.apache.org/dtds/ofbiz-component.xsd">
<depends-on component-name="ebay"/>

 
Now we can declare dependency and if any anomaly is found loading of components will stop.
