[-- Attachment #1 --] 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 4.3 machine using jdk1.2.2p10. The VM kept crashing. I talked to Tibco customer support and got the following reply: " Since the Java jdk only supports green threads on FreeBSD 4.3 and Rendezvous (TIB/RV) requires the use of native threads, the Java API is not supported on this platform. " So, I don't know if what customer support says is true. But I did notice that I could not get the example TIB/RV programs to run on jdk1.1.8 on FreeBSD 4.3 either. I did get the C example programs to run. I was able to get the example program "tibrvlisten" to work by using rva (instead of rvd) and changing the transport from TibRvdTransport to TibRvaTransport and running in JAVA mode vs NATIVE mode which bypasses the JNI calls to the C Tibco 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 I need FreeBSD 4.4? Do I need a thread patch? Thanks a bunch [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV>Here is a follow-up to getting TIB/RV working on FreeBSD and Java:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I couldn't get Tibco's TIB/RV (Version 6.8) software to work on my FreeBSD 4.3 machine using jdk1.2.2p10.
