Knowing that the "vanilla" releases just plain work is good news. How long have you had that implementation in production? What kind of apps are you running on Tomcat, and what kind of loads are the apps handling? Has anyone used Java & Tomcat on FreeBSD 6.2 yet (or 6.1)? Cheers, Gordon Smith -----Original Message----- Hi Gordon, We use FreeBSD 6.1 with Tomcat 5.5, running on Java 1.5. For Java 1.5, we just downloaded the latest package from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml. As to Tomcat 5.5 we just used the ports package (the www/tomcat55 package in /usr/ports). We've never used Java on Linux compat in production, as we found the packages provided by the FreeBSD Foundation to be good enough. Hope that helps. cheers, CP Gordon Smith wrote: >Now that FreeBSD 6.2 is out, can anyone recommend specific releases of JVM >and Tomcat that deliver a really stable and fast (emphasizing stable) J2EE >platform on 6.2?
