Hi, I'm not sure about my thoughts here. Please correct if my understanding is wrong.
I tried installing tomcat 32 bit on a 64 bit JVM but it didnt work. I tried following on the mini how to install tomcat on 64 bit OS but didnt succeed. What i found on internet is we need 64 bit executable for tomcat to run to 64 bit jvm and 64 bit OS <offcourse> Few Questions : 1) Can i host 32 bit compiled war file on 64 bit Tomcat / JVM ? <If my tomcat installation succeeds> 2) What if i recompile the war on 64 bit jvm and host it on 64 bit Tomcat? I've read that the size of the primitive datatypes in 64 bit is different, so if i use Java web start and launch the application from remote machine <32 bit> using JNLP, will it work on that 32 bit machine? having 64 bit machine compiled jars? If I host the 32 bit compiled war on 64 bit Tomcat / 64 bit JVM, What am i gonna miss/gain? except the lot of heap memory The picture is still not clear, Can you throw some light on this? help appreciated.
