I think, a datasource should always be deployed before EJBs. EJBs may need a datasource to start but datasources don't need EJBs.

There are cyclic dependencies: EntityContainer cannot start until its PM is started while the PM is started from the EntityContainer.startService().
PM.start() should be called before EntityContainer.startService().

Maybe, EjbModule.createService() after the loop that creates all the containers, there should be another one that starts PMs.
