Application hangs during class loading with no errors
Hi,
I'm developing a large application that is spread across many jar files.
At run time the application appears to hang immediately prior to the constructor of a class being called, with no errors or exceptions.
This was discovered using a combination of the debugger and good old println... (i.e. there is a println immediately before the constructor is called and another on the first line of the constructor)
Using the -verbose:class option on the java command I can see that it's loading a series of classes from different jars, as they're required during run time. However after loading one class it always stops with no further action anywhere, or any errors or exceptions.
I've tried tracking the class dependencies but these are too numerous to trawl through all of them. However, for those I have checked there doesn't appear to be any rogue statics.
So, there are two parts to this question:
a) Has anyone seen this problem before or has any suggestions at what might be causing this.
b) Where can I find reference to exactly what the output of -verbose:class option actually relates to.
Thanks in advance,
