[displaytag-user] Re: Why is initial request slow?

[Marcus Leon]

I think the wait is becuase on the first request (only the first) the JVM is loading a lot of classes.  Is there a way I can configure Weblogic to load these classes at system start up?

The classes are mostly common classes (Jakarta Commons, log4j, etc) and the Display Tag Library classes.

Thanks

Hi, my first request to a JSP page using the display tag library takes about
10-15 seconds and subsequent requests are fast. Does anyone know why the
first request is slow?

The test code is below. I don't believe the slowness is jsp compiling as we
precompile and it seems that it is working. We're on Weblogic 8.1. We
originally had a really long delay and I found that the long delay went down
to 10-15 seconds when I switched to displaytag-12.tld (in web-inf) from
displaytag-11.tld.

I did notice a log warning saying it couldn't find displaytag.properties but
I think that is an optional file. My CPU is revving at 100% during this start up period.

Thanks very much for the help!
