Ok. I thought that there was not JDK at all on OpenBSD.

I was concerned about performance as the server is gonna be co-located at a hosting company, thus it will have a decent amount of bandwidth...another thing is that we're using tomcat to mainly run an online application using a mysql database, which can be quite process intensive (i.e. for things like running reports etc) and there'll be a number of clients using it simultaneously...although to be honest this new server we've installed openbsd on is such an upgrade from our old box, that is is a lot faster anyway ;-) Cheers, Stu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
