SUMMARY: 64-bit JVM on Solaris 8/V880, app server issues

Hello,


Got a couple replies, mostly telling me that it is indeed not possible
to link 32-bit libraries from 64-bit apps :)

However, I did manage to get the Weblogic instance running, turns
out that it only used that .so file to do a setuid down to a user
after grabbing port 80 (Java can't do this itself I guess?). 
Removing the <UnixMachine/> tag from the config.xml seems
to do the trick.

I set it up instead to start as a non-priviledged user, and be
proxied to by Apache.

I loaded up the Oracle 64-bit client drivers, and am now testing
a 13GB Java instance (yes, we really need that much) on our
V880 w/ Solaris 8, seems to work a treat so far. BEA warned us
that the performance could be significantly slower (e.g. 20%)
but our app is so memory-hungry that it seems to have improved
performance, since we have so much heap space to spare now garbage
collection doesn't have to be so ruthless.



Thanks,
Rob
