Hello everyone! I just noticed a strange problem. Sometimes the jboss "hangs" when starting up whithout any error message or other sign. When researching the problem, I found out (through netstat), that my jboss briefly connects to a whole range of sites via http when starting up.. those sites include: www.ibm.com:http www-306.boulder.ibm.com:http www-128.southbury-swe.ibm.com:http mojo.w3.org:http Why did this cause a problem? When one of the sites (in this case www-128.southbury-swe.ibm.com) was not available for a period, jboss didnt continue the startup process but hung while obviously waiting for the site. So the question is: why in the world is it doing that? and how can I stop it from doing those connections?? I have pretty much a standard install of jboss 4.0.2.. as far as I remember.. and I didnt disable anything. I hope someone can help me here!
