Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'd like to install Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 RC3 on FreeBSD 3.4 with linux_base-6.1. I know there are some Blackdown problems with native threads, but I have not been able to determine whether there are any FreeBSD-specific problems that will remain once Blackdown gets their release fixed. Will native threads at the JDK level map to native threads at the FreeBSD 3.4 level? (If so, is there any idea how performance will compare to native Linux?) We're intending to run a servlet engine, so native threads seems like a necessity. Having the servlet engine block when a single thread blocks sounds bad. Thanks for any help or pointers. -- Bob Shaw bob@securify.com (650) 213-4600 x4102 The Kroll-O'Gara Company PGP Key: ldap://certserver.pgp.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
