Liferay 6.2 slow startup on Websphere 8.5

[Denis Signoretto, modificado hace 9 años.]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup Liferay CE 6.2 GA2 (6.2.1) on a default installation of Websphere 8.5.5.1 on a Liferay dedicated profile.
I set it up following related documentation https://www.liferay.com/it/documentation/liferay-portal/6.2/user-guide/-/ai/installing-liferay-on-websphere-8-5-liferay-portal-6-2-user-guide-15-en (so Java 2 Security it's enabled).

I'm facing a problem of a really slow startup. The whole startup process takes more than 15 minutes to complete on a Linux machine with 4 CPU cores, 8GB RAM (4G of Xmx) on a fast storage. As you can see, most of time it's spent between:

07:25:59,677 INFO  [WebContainer : 4][PluginPackageUtil:1016] Reading plugin package for liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga2.war
07:37:32,792 INFO  [WebContainer : 4][AutoDeployDir:116] Creating missing directory /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/liferay/deploy

It's normal or a known issue ? (Documentation reports on Figure 15.14: While Liferay is starting, WebSphere displays this spinny little graphic. Don’t watch it too closely, or you might get hypnotized.)

I'm wondering if someone else encountered the same problem and if has found how improve it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Denis.

Hello Denis,
is there a solution for this problem ?

Kind regards

Hi,

at the moment I don't have a solution yet. The only workaround I found to get a fast startup was
disable Java 2 Security on WAS and set portal.security.manager.strategy=none (not recommended if you have third party plugins or if you need to expose your server on internet).

Best Regards,
Denis.
