Berkeley DB JE is getting hanged while calling environment sync method.

Question

Hi,
I am developing an application in Java and I am using JE edition of Berkeley. I am facing an issue, during shutdown operation I am calling syn method of EntityStore class and Environment class.
The EntityStore.sync() is getting completed but during executing of Environment.sync() the control is not coming out of this statement. Below is the code that I am using to perform sync operation.
if (myEnv != null) {
try {
entityStore.sync(); //Calling sync method of Entity Store Class.
log.error("Finished Syncing of Entity Store");
myEnv.sync(); // Calling Sync method of Environment Class. Control is not coming out of this sync call.
log.error("Finished Syncing of Environment");
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
log.error("DataBase exception duing close operation ",dbe);
} catch (IllegalStateException ie) {
logger.fatal("Cursor not closed: ", ie);
During my unit testing I was changing system date and perfoming some db operation. While I during down the application the the above code gets executed but the system is getting hanged and control is not coming out of Environment sync method call. Can some one tell why the sync is causing the system to hang.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You did not mention the version of BDB JE. In any case for BDB JE questions the correct forum is at:
