Error reproduction ================== 1.) Prepare a vanilla JBoss EAP 7.x 2.) Copy the contents from the folder "jboss-eap-7.0" to the prepared vanialla JBoss installation 3.) Startup "standalone" mode with no special settings 4.) Start JConsole from the "bin" directory 5.) Go to the "MBeans" tab Watched error scenario ====================== 1.) Memory consumption during startup is very high (not the main problem!) 2.) CPU goes up (in our case one full CPU was used) and remains like this (we did not recognize an ending) 3.) MBeans are not displayed
