[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-869) Monitor contention at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.Loader.*

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-869?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15185818#comment-15185818 ] 

Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-869:
------------------------------------

ClassLoader.loadClass() also uses a lock, though since 1.7 this supports using a single lock per class name it looks like. Is this still a problem in 2.5 with Java 1.7+?

> Loader.initializeClass() / Loader.loadClass() indirectly calls Class.forName0(), which calls into JRE lib method causing monitor contention. See screen shot
> Fix by caching values returned by Class.forName() in a static ConcurrentMap
