1. Re: Much slower startup with JBoss 6 final vs JBoss 6 CR
jaikiran Jan 6, 2011 4:42 AM (in response to tarioch)What's the startup time without your application deployed? Then we can narrow down the problem. Also please provide more details about the application. And do you see any significant info in the server.log or on the console on where the time is being spent?

eorders.ear is a folder in my case and contains the following folders
eorders.jar an ejb 3.0 application

haydn.war a JSF 2.0 application and interface classes and containers for accessing the ejbs, it is a very simiple "hello world" JSF application that calls one EJB

So it's an application deployment time issue then.

Is there any time consuming code in the create/start() methods of those MBeans?
Patrick Ruckstuhl wrote:

How many of them? Where are they placed? And approximately what is the size of those jars altogether?

4. Re: Much slower startup with JBoss 6 final vs JBoss 6 CR
tarioch Jan 6, 2011 9:11 AM (in response to tarioch)I had debug log enabled (-Djboss.server.log.threshold=DEBUG), if there is another option please point it out.
As for the two mbeans
SimulatorController
- very small
- does not have any create()/start() code in it
MyController
- does only have start() and stop() code in it
- does log start and end of start() call and takes about 5 seconds and is started much later
JARs
The jar files are in in eorders.ear/XXXXX.jar
there are 73 jar files with a total size of about 35 MB

Are those just plain java libraries? Or do they contain any EJBs or other similar components? If they are just libraries then move those to eorders.ear/lib folder (create a lib folder if it isn't there).

7. Re: Much slower startup with JBoss 6 final vs JBoss 6 CR
chkal Jan 8, 2011 3:56 AM (in response to jaikiran)Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I have similar problems with 6.0.0.Final and I don't think it makes sense to open a separate thread for this.
In my case not EAR file deployment but WAR files (deployed independently, meaning not included in an EAR archive) is very slow. The deployment of a simple WAR archive takes more then one minute where as 4.2.2.GA deployed it in about 10 seconds. The WAR file has about 30MB of JAR files in its WEB-INF/lib/ directory.
From what I understand the problem with the EAR file was that all JAR libraries where scanned for annotations because they were not placed in the lib/ directory of the EAR. I think the app server always scans the WEB-INF/lib directory of WAR files, correct? In my case this is really not necessary. Is there any way of prevening this behavior?

This is a different problem. And I'm guessing that it's because of this issue http://community.jboss.org/thread/160718?tstart=0 (JIRA here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8786)
