That's the part that's getting me. I'm using JDK versions that are only a "-" dash away from each other. I've got JDK v1.4.2-5 on WinXP and JDK v1.4.2-2 on OpenVMS.
They're running on different hardware (I assume) and definitely under different operating systems. That's a lot different than moving from one dash-version to another on the same platform.
Yes, WinXP is on a 2.4 GHz Mobile P4 based DELL laptop. OpenVMS is running on an Alpha processor in an AlphaServer DS10L rackmount system.
The JDK/JRE on WinXP was downloaded directly from Sun and the Tomcat kit was downloaded from the Apache/Jakarta web site. The JDK/JRE on OpenVMS was downloaded from HP's web site, as was the OpenVMS-specific Tomcat kit.
They _ought_ to function exactly the same (the promise of write once, run anywhere!) but these "other" JVM's (including the one we use for HP-UX) often require some tweaking to work right. When we first started, Tomcat would inexplicably crash every so often. It took recompiling the HP-UX kernel with some different tuning parameters to make everything work correctly.
Yes, I was counting on "write once, run anywhere" in this case. I'm doing something *very* basic here that should work fine w/o any problems regardless of the platform it is on as long as the Tomcat & JDK/JRE are at or above the required minimum versions.
OpenVMS isn't a unix derivative, so there's no recompiling of the kernel to be done, per-se. There are other types of system parameter tuning that can be done on OpenVMS, and I've gone through and granted unlimited resources to the account that runs the JVM that Tomcat runs within.
