Thanks for the reply. I've looked at this issue in hibernate's JIRA and I noticed a post you made about the possibility of moving the laziness into the EntityPersistor instead. From my previous experience the majority of the hibernate startup time is building the proxy objects (cglib) for lazy entities.
I've made some changes locally which has sped up the hibernate startup time significantly. I've posted on the JIRA under the issue you mentioned -----Original Message----- From: snowtoad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 November 2006 17:38 To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Tomcat and long startup time (hibernate) Hi Mike, Check out the following bug report, I had a similar issue and my solution was to modify the hibernate session factory so that it only instruments persistent objects as they are encountered for the first time. I attached a patch to the bug report which is a modified session factory that implements the on-demand instrumentation. This greatly reduces the startup time of hibernate. http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1258 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-and-long-startup-time-%28hibernate%29-tf267 7735.html#a7583744 Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail is bound by the terms and conditions described at http://www.subexazure.com/mail-disclaimer.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
