EjbCreate not completing when calling into third party JAR ?

Question

Hi
Are there any limitations/restrictions on calling out to a third-party library within an ejbCreate method of a stateless session bean.
I've set <initial-beans-in-free-pool> to 1 so that when I deploy the bean ejbCreate is invoked, but only the first System.out appears. The weblogic console shows the EJB deployment status as available, no stack traces of exceptions are shown.
   public void ejbCreate() {
        try {
            System.out.println(new Date() + " EJB XTestBeam ejbCreate invoked");
            searcher = new SearcherService();
            System.out.println(new Date() + " EJB XTestBean created SearchService " + searcher);
            System.out.println(new Date() + " EJB XTestBean ejbCreate completed ok");
        } catch (EJBException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }The environment is WLS 8.1 SP4, W2K, HotSpot Client VM 1.4.2_05.

Thanks chrisswhite,
I should have mentioned that I tried this too and it didn't solve the problem. You're right though, I should be compiling with -fPIC anyway.
