Could you tell me which Java engine you're > using as I believe that there are a few in the ports collection. Note, I'm a bit biased, being the case that makes the releases and I'm very involved in the port, but there is only *ONE* valid Java engine for FreeBSD, and that's the one in lang/jdk. With regard to the only other java engine I'd consider using (kaffe), I've had bad luck getting things to work at times, and at other times it didn't support a number of features that the JDK port above support. However, for servlet development those features may not be necessary, and due to the built-in JIT in kaffe, it might be a better solution. (On the other hand, there are two JIT's for the FreeBSD JDK port, ShuJIT and TYAJit, which work with varying degrees of success.)
