Concurrent Timeout exception on starting Jboss Wildfly 9.02 server

Question

I am new to jboss server. When I am trying to deploy .war file on server the following exception gets print on console:

Thanks in advance for the help !

Answer 1

I had the same problem when I tried to deploy the WAR file on my Red Hat Jboss EAP 7.0.

But the server was integrated into my IDE (Eclipse Neon) and the problem only occured in Debug-Modus.

I was able to solve the problem by removing all breakpoints and after that i started the server again.

Answer 2

Try increasing timeout by adding java option "blocking.timeout". You can do it in bin/standalone.conf.bat (depends on how you configure wildfly) by adding line:
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.as.management.blocking.timeout=600
Change the number if it's not enough.

Answer 3

increasing the timeout doesn't solve the root cause of the problem. You need to check the cause of the time of the block and solve the issue. Maybe in some cases the solution is to increase the timeout.

In most cases, increasing resources is a bad way to solve issues. I had this case, the Wildfly took a lot of time to boot. I increased the timeout to 600 and solved the issue but was still having issue with the wildfly booting time which was so annoying.

2018-03-26 07:50:36,523 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYCTL0348: Timeout after [300] seconds waiting for service container stability. Operation will roll back. Step that first updated the service container was 'add' at address '[("path" => "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")]'

Finally I checked the block cause in and found the block was due to network host resolving (NAS storage defined as a path in wildfly).

I jumped to the network setting and found that my local DNS was not set properly. I added the local DNS instead of the public DNS and the block issue was gone. Hope this helps

When i tried to debug and started the server with debug mode got the following error:

16:19:50,096 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (management-handler-thread - 1) JBAS013412: Timeout after [300] seconds waiting for service container stability. Operation will roll back. Step that first updated the service container was 'deploy' at address '[("deployment" => "ViprWeb.war")]'
16:19:50,096 ERROR [org.jboss.as.server] (management-handler-thread - 1) JBAS015870

I removed all my breakpoints and restarted my server jboss and it resolved the issue.

Answer 5

just increase time out in standalone.conf.bat set as set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.as.management.blocking.timeout=600 It worked for me.

Answer 6

I had the same problem running a "dockerized" application locally - turns out increasing the resources fixed the issue. What I finally settled on: CPUs: 4 Memory: 8GB Swap: 2GB
