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/528822#528822 Author : Peter Johnson Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/peterj Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Unless someone on the AS team recalls what is being done during that time on startup (doubtful considering how ancient 3.2.6 is), your best bet would be to take a few JVM thread dumps during that time. Looking at the dumps should give you some idea as to what code is being processed.   Offhand, I suspect that what you are seeing is the transition from the bootstrap code to the server code which means that there are a lot of JARs being loaded and that the code is doing a lot of disk IO. But this is just a guess. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/528822#528822
