[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - HTTPConnection in startup servlet works only with hot deploy

Hi, * We are developing a J2EE application in which we have to download some XML when the WAR file(Say MyApp.WAR.) is deployed. * I have put the downloading XML logic to be called from a startup servlet. So far so good. * I have 5 customers for whom i would have to have 5 WAR files like MyApp1.WAR,MyApp2.WAR,MyApp3.WAR,MyApp4.WAR,MyApp5.WAR but all these WAR files have to download XMLs which are unique for each WAR. Real Problem comes when i restart JBoss. The deployer does not proceed further after the line in my code where i read the input stream, which results in the failure of all further deployments in the same server. | u = new URL (url); | httpConn = ( HttpURLConnection ) u.openConnection ( ); | httpConn.setRequestMethod ( "GET" ) ; | Log.info(AppConstants.LOG_CATEGORY," before http connection"); | httpConn.connect () ; | Log.info(AppConstants.LOG_CATEGORY,"after http connection"); | if(httpConn !=null) | { | try | { | inputStream=httpConn.getInputStream(); // here is where it hangs | }catch (Exception e) { | Log.error(AppConstants.LOG_CATEGORY,"Exception fetching inputstream :"+e); | } | * In the above code, it doesnt even throw an exception, just hangs . * to fix this, i have to remove all 5 WAR files out of deploy folder, start JBoss and then place all the WAR files back to the deploy folder. It works fine. * I don't understand why it works only with Hot deploy and not with a restart. * Please let me know if anything could be done on this (or) in case you need more info.
