Description:
============

Starting up SOAP web service takes a random amount of time before the service responds, which occasionally can be lengthy. 


Environment:
===========

BW 5.11

Symptoms:
========

Delay in launch. No. exception or error message reported in the engine log file.


Cause:
=====
This is caused by a Java defect (JDK 1.7 and JDK 1.6) and is observed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x. The value set for securerandom.source in  $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security  is  /dev/urandom , yet Java sees this as  /dev/random  and the JVM startup times are slow when relying on this. Instead, it should be  /dev/./urandom  


Resolution:
==========

Make the following changes:

File to be changed : $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
Line to be changed: securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom
Changed line: securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom
