[nycbug-talk] Tomcat + JDK 1.4 on FreeBSD

[Fred McCann]

I would like to run tomcat in production on FreeBSD and I'm currently 
trying to weigh that vs. running it on some distribution of linux. Is 
anyone on the list currently using java on FreeBSD? If so what are you 
seeing for performance and how are you running java? Is it one of the 
linux 1.4 jdks running in linux compatibility mode? Is anyone running 
the native BSD port?

I tried installing the native port last night, but I couldn't get it to 
take. It was requesting the linux jdk from sun:

j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin

Unfortunately the only version I could find on the sun site is:

j2sdk-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin

Which stopped me dead (until I figure away around it).
