Hi,
I installed JBoss 3.2.0 on linux (RedHat Enterprise Server Version 3) .

The default Jboss installation starts in 43 secs.

I added third party jars (about 40 of them) in a separate directories and the added these directory in library path in jboss-service.xml

< classpath codebase="lib" archives="*" />
< classpath codebase="/root/dir1" archives="*" />
< classpath codebase="/root/dir2" archives="*" />

Now, if I start the server,
the boot.log is created immmediately
the server creates log files (defined by log4j xml file)

then it waits for about 3 minutes (it might be loading all the library jars I guess)

then it creates the server.log and deploys jars.

Total startup time : 3 mins 50 secs.

What can I check in my setup ?

Thanks
Mandar
