User development, A new message was posted in the thread "JBoss 3.2.6 - pauses for a minute during startup": http://community.jboss.org/message/528915#528915 Author : Brian Stansberry Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/bstansberry@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- It's reading from a URL that's meant to be a source of randomness (e.g. /dev/random or /dev/urandom). Presumably so it can create a name for a temp file.   In boot.log there is a dump at the beginning of all the system property values available at the time: is there anything for   * java.security.egd * securerandom.source   If so, that tells you the URL it's reading from. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/528915#528915
