Hi, Chuk
     No, there is no ordering of the deployers. What happened in the
stack trace (DolProvider) is that the GlassFish tried to process the
JavaEE related metadata in the application and found none. Even though
the GlassFish allows the plug in of extension container, we do assume
the application still contains certain JavaEE components in addition to
the extension components (except for special case like OSGI module). The
GlassFish currently does not support deployment of pure extension module.
