Pretty much none, other than slightly increased memory usage, but with the option of a greatly expanded heap if needed. > The application that will run under Tomcat uses JSPs that have > not been compiled and tested with a 64 bit JDK. There's no such thing as compiling for a 32- or 64-bit JVM; both use the same byte codes in the same class files. > I assume a JDK for compiling the JSPs under Tomcat can be > specifed separately from the JVM that Tomcat runs on. Generally not; JSPs are normally compiled on first reference, under the JVM Tomcat is running on. You can pre-compile them, but that's really only for the performance purists. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
