Tomcat compileted for 64-bit Xeon machines

2005-08-25 Thread Philip Widan
I'd like to run Tomcat on a Xeon 64-bit machine as a 64-bit application, not
a 32-bit application.

My questions are:
1. Is there a 64-bit Tomcat download available?
2. If '1' is no, then does the Tomcat team plan to make one available soon?
3. If '2' is no, then has anyone succesfully compiled Tomcat for 64-bit, in
which case, can you give me suggestions regarding doing this?

Thank you
Philip

I've read the posting about Tomcat just being a Java application and SUN's
Java 1.5 working on a Xeon 64-bit machine (X64).

However, I'm concerned about the tomcat.exe in the bin directory, and the
fact that I create a Tomcat service using this exe. If it's compiled as a
32-bit Windows app, then Windows will run it as a 32-bit app, even if
Windows is 64-bit. Furthermore, a 32-bit app can't call a 64-bit app
(according to Microsoft's website). So, if tomcat.exe is 32-bit, it won't
load a 64-bit jvm (or will it).

Alternatively, I'd have to run tomcat from the batch files, but I need to
run it as a service.

The 64 bit edition has been available since the public release of tomcat 
including all 3.X releases.


Actually - to get 64bit performance - you need to be sure your JVM by 
Sun/BEA/IBM is one optimized for a 64 bit machine. The JVM byte code doesn't 
care whether your system is 32 or 64 bit.


So in a nutshell - the answer is 1.

Thanks Tim. Can you point me to where I can find the 64-bit edition, since I
can't see anything specific on the Tomcat website. Or does the download
include both 32-bit and 64-bit?

Philip,

tomcat.exe is actually prunsrv.exe renamed from the commons-daemon project. You 
could try getting the source and compiling that with a 64 bit MS compiler. I 
don't know whether anyone has ever done so before.

Best regards

Robert.

Ahh ... by the email - you mean the wrappers which invoke the JVM. your best 
best is to compile from source a 64 bit version. Otherwise - a 64 bit version 
would be available whenever one of the committers gets a 64 bit xeon machine.
