The thread actually works OK. I have it writing to the console at the start of a run, and and the very end of a run. It also runs properly outside of Webware. There are no error messages in any log. What happens is that the task starts along with Webware, and runs fine. It is run every 60 seconds, and during each run, it writes messages to the console successfully. When I try to access any servlet through a browser however, Webware stalls somewhere in the response cycle. since the browser waits for returning data, but never gets any. I've not been able to duplicate the problem today. Last night, it popped up during 5 consecutive AppServer restarts. If Webware starts properly (i.e., the lock up does not occur), everything seems to be fine. It could be related to the concurrent import problem since the problem seems to be occuring at Webware start-up time only. I'm using Python 2.2.2, so the patch that Jason mentions isn't on my system. Jason suggested: >To mitigate the problem in the meantime, I'd suggest adding > >from time import sleep >sleep(5) > >to your periodic task (to delay its execution by a few seconds), and see >if that helps. I did this in the contextInitialize() function that kicks off the task, but found that it just locks Webware up for the sleep period (why?). I'll try moving the delay into the task itself to see if this still happens. ...Edmund. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
