There are many different JVMs made by many different | organizations that all have their good points and their bad | points. Further, what platform you are using should be a | major consideration in your selection of a JVM. Sun has | proven over the years that they build their JVM first for | Solaris and then port it to Linux, which results in some | disadvantages for the Linux platform. IBM on the other hand | has worked very hard to make one of the top JVM | implementations for Linux. | | Like anything that is critical to your applications | performance and robustness you need to do testing to | determine what the correct answer is for your situation. | Testing will also allow you to find any incompatibilities | that may result from changing JVMs. | | Matt Liotta | President & CEO | Montara Software, Inc. | http://www.montarasoftware.com/ | 888-408-0900 x901 | | > -----Original Message----- | > From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | > Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 11:07 AM | > To: CF-Talk | > Subject: RE: installing a new JVM (was: CFMX ...) | > | > > > 2.
