Hi, I'm just starting to check out 5.0. I have pretty much a basic/default installation of JBoss AS 5.0. The same EJB app that takes about a minute to start up in 4.x takes more than 4 minutes in 5.0. Some sample output... | 22:41:14,203 INFO [WebService] Using RMI server codebase: http://localhost:8083/ | 22:41:34,515 INFO [NativeServerConfig] JBoss Web Services - Stack Native Core | 22:41:34,515 INFO [NativeServerConfig] 3.0.4.SP1 | [..... LONG WAIT HERE .....] | 22:43:44,359 INFO [Ejb3DependenciesDeployer] Encountered deployment AbstractVFSDeploymentContext@7764591{vfsfile:/C:/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/deploy/myApp.ear/myAppEJB.jar/} | 22:43:44,359 INFO [Ejb3DependenciesDeployer] Encountered deployment AbstractVFSDeploymentContext@7764591{vfsfile:/C:/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/deploy/myApp.ear/myAppEJB.jar/} | As you can see, right after "[NativeServerConfig] 3.0.4.SP1", you can see that about 2 minutes elapse before the next line. I'm using Eclipse + JBoss plugin (Windows XP, JDK 6.x) to deploy and start up JBoss. Is this normal? Any suggestions on how to speed this up? I don't need web services, so if that's the culprit, any tips on removing/disabling it? Thanks! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4199307#...
