Summary: Random ClassCircularityError

Initial Comment:
There's an Aug 7 forum posting discussing a seemingly 
random ClassCircularityError: 

http://www.jboss.org/thread.jsp?
forum=61&thread=37650&message=3796384&q=ClassCirc
ularityError#3796384

I experienced something similar myself today; happened 
once at startup and hasn't been repeated.  Below is a 
stack trace in case it's helpful to someone.

Further background: The thread in this trace is started 
by a ServletContextListener at webapp startup.  The 
webapp is in an ear that has its own loader-repository.  
I'm running 3.2.2RC3.

Bug 832561 lead to a testcase which demonstrated one
scenario where a ClassCircularityError would occur. The
underlying ClassCircularityError has been resolved by
rescheduling the conflicting class loading tasks such that
the task which triggered the ClassCircularityError is
performed after any others currently assigned to the thread.
This will be in the 3.2.3RC1 release.

 Hello,

 I experienced a similar problem starting with JBoss 3.0.6 and 
now with 3.2.2 with Jetty bundled too (jboss-3.2.2_jetty-
4.2.11.zip).

 In an EAR I have:
- a couple of Stateless Session Beans and
- a loaded-on-startup servlet (in a WAR inside the EAR)

On the servlet's init(), I look-up those EJBs and start another 
thread which, at its discretion makes calls on the lookup()'ed 
EJBs. 

The problem is that sometimes I get 
java.lang.ClassCircularityError(s) upon startup

 Please see the jboss forum thread for stack traces: 

http://www.jboss.org/thread.jsp?forum=47&thread=39111

 Robert

 JBoss 3.2.2 with Jetty
 OS: Windows XP SP1
 JDK: 1.3.1_08

A workaround to retry the load when seeing a CCE has been
added. The underlying cause is believed to be this jdk bug:
 4699981 ClassCircularityError thrown without reason during
class loading

We get random ClassCircularityError on startup as well
