Hi,

So if my JVM doesn't crash, but  the Windows NT service  that runs Tomcat 
does, what can I do? What are the implications of what you just wrote? 
Stout.log and sterr.log are blameless, by the way.

I guess I could run Tomcat from the command line, and not as a service, 
but I think I've tried this.  The same  web app crashes in the same way on 
another server running Windows 2000 server. Would Linux be any better?

Iain.

Howdy,
No.  I meant the hs_err_[pid] file, which is created by the HotSpot JVM
automatically when it crashes.  It's not the same as the stdout/stderr
logs.  If the file is not there, that's a good thing, it means your JVM
did not crash.
