RE: 64 Bit Machines and Tomcat
From: J R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Are there 64 bit counterparts? If not, would the 32 bit ones definitely work? Assuming you have a Java virtual machine that runs on your system, the Tomcat Java classes will run unchanged. The 'virtual' in 'virtual machine' means that compiled Java classes are insulated from the details of the underlying machine - Tomcat runs unchanged on Windows, MacOS*, and many flavours of UNIX.

Re: 64 Bit Machines and Tomcat
The one caveat I have seen is when you use third-party software that is compiled; chances are it was compiled with 32-bit system libraries and will not take advantage of the 64-bit data structure. If you can, spend the time compiling the third-paty software using 64-bit JDK.

Java .class files are all binary bytecode, the bytecode is architecture independent and well defined. All you need is a Java Virtual Machine for your architecture to execute the binaries. So the binaries, in theory, will run all any hardware architecture with a suitable JVM available. If by ones you mean JVMs then yes, there is an AMD64 JVM available for download at java.sun.com. In addition, I'm pretty sure Blackdown will compile 64-bit as well. These machines are Intel Zeon processors (dual) Are they EM64T Xeons, or the older 32-bit only Xeons? -ryan JR --- J.

RE: 64 Bit Machines and Tomcat
Thanks... I didn't realize that Tomcat was pure Java. Being tortured through several CS classes that use Java.. I am familiar with its platform capabilities. Thanks a bunch!

RE: 64 Bit Machines and Tomcat
From: J R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks... I didn't realize that Tomcat was pure Java. There's the odd shell script and batch file to assist; other than that, it's pure Java. Certainly there's nothing that needs a platform-specific compiler before it'll run, just the JVM. Being tortured through several CS classes that use Java.. I am familiar with its platform capabilities. Heh. Oh well, I get the 'teaching grandmother to suck eggs' prize for the week. - Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You don't need to build Tomcat, since it's pure Java. Just download the binary distribution, unzip, and run the appropriate startup script for your OS. You do need to have a 64-bit JRE installed, of course, if you want the Java code to run in 64-bit mode. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
