seam noejb startup times

[werpu]

Is this normal that the seam noejb demo on a tomcat 5.5.12
takes 88 seconds to start, while a normal tomcat takes around 8 seconds without seam.

I am trying this currently on a cvs build and just wanted to know if this is the normal startup behavior for the booking noejb example.

(to my knowledge myfaces takes around 3-4 seconds additionally so it must be somewhere in seam)

hmm.... I certainly don't find any problems with startup time at all.... about 45 seconds till ready and thats with kicking off a number of my own applications in it.

before we go on though.... a normal tomcat 'what' takes 8 seconds to start up?

the seam applications have a lot of stuff to go through when kicking off... hibernate conf etc etc.

On a bare tomcat config (ie no other webapps) I go from about 1 second to about 20 seconds with the noejb demo.

Are you sure its not something simple like memory/cpu/io or VM options (ie -Xmx and friends)?

Yes I assume something in my configuration was/is hosed.
I tried it on a second machine and now I am in the reported
20 seconds timeframe, which is bareable ;-)

Btw. I am impressed with it now, I implemented a small blogger
in about two hours (one hour getting the example up and running
so that I could put my code in)
the blogging backend bean / session bean code was around 100 lines
half of them generated setters and getters.
