Huh, interesting. So, I had this set of maps that had the names of the functions that I wanted to be started in their own threads once the app started up, but apparently only the first one gets called:
:events-called-when-the-app-starts-that-run-in-their-own-threads-hooks #{ {:order-of-events 1 :event-name "omniture-fetch-new-data"} {:order-of-events 2 :event-name "persist-new-log-data-to-database"} {:order-of-events 3 :event-name "omniture-call-api-for-report-if-status-is-ready"} } omniture-fetch-new-data fires up, but the other 2 functions do not. Does the one sort of hijack everything else? On Tuesday, March 5, 2013 3:24:14 PM UTC-5, larry google groups wrote: > > > This surprises me.
