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. > -----Original Message----- > From: Philip Widan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 August 2005 12:46 > To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org > Subject: Tomcat compileted for 64-bit Xeon machines > > > 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.
