Pause between webapp startup (~5 mins)??

rob_h — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 04:57:44 GMT

Hi folks,I have deployed activiti 5.3 now in both a tomcat/RHEL/Oracle and tomcat/Ubuntu/Mysql environments. Once the server has started, the performance and operation of activiti is fine. However, during application startup, there seems to be a delay of some minutes between each webapp starting u

Same installation (this behaviour I had with all activiti versions)

On windows XP
17-mar-2011 8:36:39 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 133457 ms

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
14-mar-2011 17:27:57 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 590509 ms

That's very strange, since I'm also testing it every release on an Ubuntu machine…. and it's faster then my Windows machine on it.

Could you post a full log of the applications booting up? Then I can have a talk with the UI guys.

Hi, as you've seen in the log the problem occurs when rhino is setup. Kevin's (Spring Surf) guess is that it could be some dtd missing and I think I recall a similar problem in Activiti from before, but that was when you were running your server offline. Could that be the case here?

Anyway Kevin suggested to get a stacktrace when the webapp stalls (see below), unfortunately I only have, WinXP, MacOS & Ubuntu installed so it would be excellent if any of you could provide the stacktrace.

Cheers

———–

Can you get a thread dump (CTRL+BREAK) during the pause?

The only time I've seen this is when it's waiting on remote resources. Could
either be the app-server insisting on downloading DTD or similar files to
validate XML (tends to be an app-server specific issue, i.e. JBoss or
similar) or a Surf configured "remote" store (but I don't think you are
using any?)

I'm using a tomcat and I have only activiti applications.

I'm starting tomcat with 'ant tomcat.start' then, How can I force thread dump?

I remember, that this machine has a proxy, but I didn't configure anything in tomcat…

anyone know how can I configure my proxy settings under tomcat… anyway I'll search into web

Hi, you can run tomcat in the current window using:
