facelets class loading takes much longer time after migrating from JBoss EAP 4.3 to 5.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8583 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8583 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.GA Reporter: Gary Hu The facelets 1.1.15.B1 is placed under the $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/lib folder. In EAP 4.3, it takes about 2s to load the facelets library, but in EAP 5.0 it takes about 15s. The following facelets code is analyzed, which tells us the slowness comes from the facelets library loading: public static URL[] search(ClassLoader cl, String prefix, String suffix) throws IOException { Enumeration[] e = new Enumeration[] { cl.getResources(prefix), cl.getResources(prefix + "MANIFEST.MF") }; Set all = new LinkedHashSet(); URL url; URLConnection conn; JarFile jarFile; for (int i = 0, s = e.length; i < s; ++i) { while (e[i].hasMoreElements()) { url = (URL) e[i].nextElement(); conn = url.openConnection(); conn.setUseCaches(false); conn.setDefaultUseCaches(false); if (conn instanceof JarURLConnection) { jarFile = ((JarURLConnection) conn).getJarFile(); } else { jarFile = getAlternativeJarFile(url); } if (jarFile != null) { searchJar(cl, all, jarFile, prefix, suffix); } else { boolean searchDone = searchDir(all, new File(URLDecoder.decode(url.getFile(), "UTF-8")), suffix); if (!searchDone) { searchFromURL(all, prefix, suffix, url); } } } } URL[] urlArray = (URL[]) all.toArray(new URL[all.size()]); return urlArray; } This method is called from com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig.loadImplicit() with the followign statement: ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); URL[] urls = Classpath.search(cl, "META-INF/", SUFFIX); //SUFFIX is ".taglib.xml" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
