I am reading some path from xml file in static block. I have read one field from xml file and it was succesful. When I try to read second element from the same file, static block is not executed.

    private static String path1 = "";
    private static String path2 = ""; 


static{
    DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc  = docBuilder.parse("..."); // path of file



    Element element = doc.getDocumentElement(); 
    // if i open only this line, it works fine                  
    path1 = UtilityFunctions.getStringValue(element, "path1");

    // when i open this line all static block is not executed
    path2 = UtilityFunctions.getStringValue(element, "path2");  

}

Why static block is not executed when I add second line (path2 = ...) ?

What makes you think it's not executed? – Reut Sharabani Jun 09 '16 at 10:11
It is executed ? may throw some exception ? U might have catch them ... please give little bit more information – Nikesh Joshi Jun 09 '16 at 10:13
I debuged it. Without second line it hangs on the breakpoint but when I add it does not. – user1474111 Jun 09 '16 at 10:13
Can you just add a System.out.println() ? It is pretty normal that debugger stops at a breakpoint : ) . It seemt to be a problem with UtilityFunctions.getStringValue() method, not static block invocation. – Damian Jun 09 '16 at 10:17
I just restarted to machine and it resolved, thank you for comments. – user1474111 Jun 09 '16 at 10:39
