If you have created a .war file for your webapp and successfully deployed it on linux, chances are quite good that it will deploy on FreeBSD. > I currently have 4.8 but could of course get newer stuff. > If this box is publicly available and has not been patched since 4.8, it would be a very good idea to update the OS. BTW, there's a list for Java on FreeBSD, I'll cc that list. -- Regards, Doug
