[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Work started: (JBPM-1707) pageflow parsing is slow

pageflow parsing is slow ------------------------ Key: JBPM-1707 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1707 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.2.3 Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7) enterprise-installer-4.3.0.GA-1.ep1.8.jar jdk-1.5.0_16-fcs Reporter: Alejandro Guizar Assignee: Alejandro Guizar Fix For: jBPM 3.3.0 GA On a RHEL machine, while deploying a seam based ear, which contains 13 pageflow definitions, the parsing of these 13 pageflow files takes more than 34 minutes (!). The culprit seems to be the usage of the original systemId (http://jboss.com/products/seam/pageflow-2.0.xsd) in the org.jbpm.jdpl.xml.JpdlParser$JpdlEntityResolver class, as this apparently results in slow internet lookups: log.debug("original systemId as input source"); inputSource = new InputSource(systemId); Using a null InputSource: inputSource = new InputSource((InputStream)null); brings the parsing time down to less than 1 second. Of course it would be better to actually pass in a reference to the local pageflow-2.0.xsd file, which is inside the jboss-seam.jar.
