Subject: tomcat6w.exe -- 32bit and 64bit versions identical?
The two versions of tomcat6w.exe are identical.
Is this correct?
That is correct. The tomcat6w.exe program does not access the JVM, so it
need not match the JVM's execution mode.
Thanks. Is that a change from 6.0.20?
Not as far as I know. tomcat5/6/7w.exe is a Windows GUI program which only accesses the
Registry, to set/modify values in it. So for this program, the type of the JVM (32/64-bit)
doesn't matter, as it never interacts with it.
These Registry values are later read by the tomcat5/6/7.exe program, and used as
parameters for itself and to set options for the JVM which this program starts and runs,
as a "wrapper". So for this second program, the type of JVM matters very much, and must
match the type of the wrapper.
I mention 5/6/7 above to stress that the above has been true since at least
Tomcat 5.
