Error description

  • A deadlock can occur in WebSphere Application Server Liberty
    starting a WAB.  This issue should only happen in cases
    where a WAB bundle is installed dynamically by code included
    in a Liberty feature.  This can result in a deadlock when
    resolving the gateway bundles used by the applications
    within Liberty.

    A potential deadlock can be hit in Liberty during a WAB startup
    where a ThreadContextClassloader is created
    (ClassLoadingServiceImpl.createTCCL) and the same thread then
    tries to retrieve the ThreadContextClassloader
    (ClassLoadingServiceImpl.createThreadContextClassLoader calling
    into CanonicalStore.retrieveOrCreate).

Problem conclusion

  • The property osgi.module.auto.start.on.resolve=false is now set
    by default to stop the automatic starting of OSGi modules when
    they are resolved.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 16.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
    delivery information:
    http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
    

Temporary fix

  • In versions 16.0.0.2 and 16.0.0.3 you can set
    osgi.module.auto.start.on.resolve=false in your
    bootstrap.properties file.
