Here is a follow-up to getting TIB/RV working on FreeBSD and = Java:

I couldn't get Tibco's TIB/RV (Version 6.8) software to work on my = FreeBSD=20 4.3 machine using jdk1.2.2p10. The VM kept crashing. I = talked to=20 Tibco customer support and got the following reply:

" Since the Java jdk only supports green threads on = FreeBSD 4.3=20 and Rendezvous (TIB/RV)
requires the use of native threads, the Java = API is=20 not supported on this
platform. "

So, I don't know if what customer support says is true. But I = did=20 notice that I could not get the example TIB/RV programs to run on = jdk1.1.8 on=20 FreeBSD 4.3 either. I did get the C example programs to = run. I=20 was able to get the example program "tibrvlisten" to work by using rva = (instead=20 of rvd) and changing the transport from TibRvdTransport to = TibRvaTransport and=20 running in JAVA mode vs NATIVE mode which bypasses the JNI calls to the = C Tibco=20 library functions and calls pure Java functions as I understand = it.

So if I build jdk1.31p5 on FreeBSD 4.3 will it use native = threads? Do=20 I need FreeBSD 4.4? Do I need a thread patch?

Thanks a bunch
