Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• The OSGi framework of WAS runs on does its own protocol
  handling.  When a resource is loaded, it tries to load the
  protocol handler using Class.forName.  The loader which use to
  load the OSGi classes is a child of Launcher$AppClassLoader, so
  when it tries to load the handler, it already has the lock on
  AppClassLoader (due to the URLClassLoader.findResource API
  synchronization) but then tries to load from a child loader.  In
  parallel if some other thread is going down a standard loadClass
  path it already has that child classloader lock and will require
  the AppClassLoader and hence the deadlock.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR14
  .
  The JVM has been updated to handle the deadlock scenario when
  custom classloaders loads the classes in above fashion.
  

Temporary fix
