Please provide exact ide revision, jdk version, server type and version. Do you use directory deployment?

JDK 1.6 Update 10

GlassFish U2

Yes , i'm using directory deployment

I set the OS to WinXP... please correct the setting if I have guessed wrong.

Also: please try the following test and report the results...

steps..

1. undeploy the app.
2. clean the app.
2.5 restart the server
3. use the deploy item to deploy the app.
   please attach the ant output from that operation.
4. undeploy the app
5. clean the app
6. restart the server
7. switch to archive deployment
   Properties item on the server nodes right click menu.
   options tab of the properties dialog
   uncheck Directory deployment enabled.
8. use the deploy item to deploy the app.
   please attach the ant output from that operation, too.

i repeat this steps and the process stop in same location:

Initial deploying WebSite to C:\Projetos\hg\web\WebSite\dist\gfdeploy


On archive deployment... the deployment occurs in 2 seconds...

BTW: how long does it take to directory deploy the app using a fully updated 6.1 build?

In 6.1 this operation takes 29 seconds...

please attach a couple thread dumps, that you take after the deploy "stalls".  please trigger two thread dumps
approximately 30 seconds apart.

have you...

updated to the freshest release of 6u10 (the FCS bits)?

made other environmental changes other than the NB bits?

I just used the seam pagination sample project
https://techdayscode.dev.java.net/files/documents/7105/83664/seampagination_080125-220555.zip to see if I could
reproduce this... and I wasn't successful.

The app ends up being a 10mb ear file.

using directory deploy the app deploys in about 15 seconds (according to the ant output).

The archive based deploy time is about 15 seconds also...

please attach the thread dumps when they become available.

it looks like the issue may have something to do with structure of the app that you are deploying.  the thread dumps
will help identify the bottleneck and once it is identified, we should be able to integrate a code change to address it.

Hi richard_1383hot... if you have more info about why you have become interested in this issue, please let us know. 
Since the issue is INCOMPLETE and the original filer hasn't updated it and I haven't been able to reproduce it, I am
kind of stalled.  Additional information from you may provide info that will let me make progress.

There is no response from reporter for few months, closing as wontfix

This seems to be back. I would open a new bug because it's probably different, but that this is the bug the exception reporter gave me.
