| <h1 class="topictitle1">Cyclical dependencies between J2EE modules</h1> |
| <div><p>A cyclical dependency between two or more modules in an enterprise application |
| most commonly occurs when projects are imported from outside WebSphere<sup>®</sup> Studio. |
| When a cycle exists between two or more modules in an enterprise application, |
| the Java™ builder |
| cannot accurately compute the build order of the projects. Full builds fail |
| under these conditions, or require several invocations.</p> |
| <p>Therefore, the best practice is to componentize your projects or modules. |
| This allows you to have your module dependencies function as a tree instead |
| of a cycle diagram. This practice has the added benefit of producing a better |
| factored and layered application.</p> |
