I've made a tiny bit of progress. Running Pax Runner under the Java Service Wrapper (instead of JSL) allows me to run JProfiler against it as a service. This reveals that 85.6% (and as I'm writing this, it's rising) of the time is spent in org.ops4j.pax.runner.platform.internal.Pipe.run() as it invokes java.io.IOException.printStackTrace(). That sounds like it might be important. :-)
The question is: What's the stack trace? Well, I looked at the wrapper.log file and found roughly 3GB of log (and growing) that started with this: INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | ______ ________ __ __ INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | / __ / / __ / / / / / INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | / ___/ / __ / _\ \ _/ INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | / / / / / / / _\ \ INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | /__/ /__/ /__/ /_/ /_/ INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | Pax Runner from OPS4J - http://www.ops4j.org INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | -------------------------------------------- INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:39 | INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | java.io.IOException: The handle is invalid INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.FileInputStream.read(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at org.ops4j.pax.runner.platform.internal.Pipe.run(Pipe.java:95) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | java.io.IOException: The handle is invalid INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.FileInputStream.read(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at org.ops4j.pax.runner.platform.internal.Pipe.run(Pipe.java:95) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | java.io.IOException: The handle is invalid INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.FileInputStream.read(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at org.ops4j.pax.runner.platform.internal.Pipe.run(Pipe.java:95) INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/07/31 16:20:41 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) And it keeps on going with the same "handle is invalid" IOException for several GB. Any clue what this is? I'm completely guessing, but it seems like it's trying to read input from STDIN and (since this is running as a service) it can't...there is no STDIN. But I do have --noConsole, so shouldn't that pipe be extinguished. I'm about to go look at the code again, but thought I'd offer up this news and see what you guys think.
