The recent on-list exchange between John Summerfield and Kontorotsui has brought a background thought of mine to the foreground, so I'd like to share it with the list and see what the general opinion is. I suggest that the current copy of the FAQ be included with the succesful subscription messag

I recently tried to create a C app that created a JVM, started a simple Java class, and passed messages from C (or C++) to Java. After running successfully on NT, I noticed that it core dumped when it was created from within another C executable on Solaris. When I used Purify on it, EVERY call t

Sorry if this is off-topic, but you might also look at ORBacus. I think it was based on OmniORB originally, but is being commercially developed. Their prices are reasonable, and they license it for free for non-commecial uses. The Java ORB works fine on Java 1.1.7 on linux. We've been using it w

Is there any way we can send you some code so that you can test it out in the 1.2 release? I have some native threads + JNI code that works under Solaris and Windows JDK but breaks with the 1.1.7 Native threads release. I know for a fact that the code is correct but there is some kind of problem w

I know we're all holding our breath while waiting for it, I know we're all so enthusiastic about it. I know that we read everywhere about Java 2 and we don't want to use winbug to try it. I'm waiting for it like all of you. But *please* STOP ASKING about Java 1.2/2. First of all it's a FAQ, Bla

Hi! The following problem exists in both JDK 1.1.6v5, and 1.1.7v1a. I've got a glibc systems, and using the glibc versions of the JDK. My kernel is 2.0.34. I'm pretty sure this is Linux specific, but I haven't been able to verify that by trying it on another OS. But here goes. Under certain cir

Marcel, Thanks for your great summary! BTW, I just wanted to let you know, we've switched to omniORB2/Sun IDL (JDK1.2) instead of Visibroker. I felt that visi was just way too expensive, and being a believer in the benefits of Open Source software (and reading all the great posts re omniORB), I

Hi folks -- Any words on when the Java 2 (aka 1.2) port is available? I would love to get a port of Jini out on Linux early (and often), but we are completely 1.2 based. Any words you could give would be a help. Thanks, Jim Waldo

Hi, after some mails about VisiBroker, here are some hints how to run VisiBroker on Linux: 1) Everything from VisiBroker runs fine on Linux (pure Java), but not the osagent process which is nativ binary (and not supported on Linux) 2) if you don't use the name server and don't run the gatekeepe
