Coldfusion, Postgres and Java under FreeBSD
Dear friends, I've been studying/researching to understand what is the best OS for my production environment. I didn't know FreeBSD until this need, and now I'm fascinated with the stuff I've been reading about it. I have 2 servers with the following SW/HW: Server 1: Postgres 9 HSQLDB (Java) 2 cpu 5620 / 48 GB RAM Server 2: Coldfusion 9 and other java applications 2 cpu 5620 / 24 GB RAM I searched the web about performance and portability for these applications on FreeBSD, but I could not find any clear article about my doubts, that's why I'm asking for your help. Question #1: Is anyone running Coldfusion on FreeBSD? It looks like Adobe only supports Red Had and SuSe. Question #2: Is the JVM implementation for FreeBSD reliable and fast? Most of my software components are made in Java (including HSQDB) Question #3: I read a lot of old posts saying that the overall performance of Postgres under FreeBSD is better than on some Linux distributions. Is this still valid for the current versions? I appreciate your valuable time for reading this and for helping me.

Re: Coldfusion, Postgres and Java under FreeBSD
Question #2: Is the JVM implementation for FreeBSD reliable and fast? Most of my software components are made in Java (including HSQDB) Since I have experience with Java on FreeBSD, I will try to answer this question. Java works very well for me under FreeBSD; I have not had a single problem with Java on FreeBSD. To install java, you can either install a pre-compiled JDK (called diablo-jdk) or compile all the JDK sources from scratch using the ports system. If you compile yourself from ports, you can choose either JDK 1.5 or JDK 1.6 (there may even be newer and older JDK versions that work fine). I'm running JDK 1.5 compiled from source on both my servers, and have had no problems in my Java applications. The dependencies list for 1.6 is a bit more involved, but the compile/install process is so automated that you won't be bothered with the amount of work it takes to install a JDK. So, in a nutshell, Java is very well supported under FreeBSD and you should consider this to be a non-issue. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Don't get me wrong, people working on FreeBSD Java project are doing a *great* job, but it was so much easier to just download the packages from FreeBSD Foundation thanks to the deal with Sun. I don't know what's the status of that deal right now, but there are no packages for 8-RELEASE and the packages themselves weren't updated in a long while, so I guess the deal's off. I'm running Java on FreeBSD right now, but I must say I'd probably stick to Linux nowadays if I had any say, at least until there comes a day when I'll be able to pkg_add -r openjdk7. -- Nino ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I also had trouble without getting jdk16 installed first. It's been a while now, so I'm not exactly sure what all, but I think if you install those ports in that order, Eclipse will work for you. You may also want to make a symlink from /usr/local/eclipse to /usr/local/eclipse-devel - this allows the Eclipse plugin ports to install properly. Without it, they will not. I've got several (Perl, Ruby, and a couple of others) installed from ports against eclipse-devel and they work fine once that symlink is in place. - mdh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Having Some Trouble with Java on FreeBSD
I've been having a small amount of trouble with running Java on FreeBSD (version 5.4 for amd64) and I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to help me out. I manually installed the linux version of Java. Which seemed to work alright and then I was trying to build the native version using Sun's sources and the patch. And that seemed to go well, except for one small problem, which was that the hotspot compiler seemed to have trouble finding its stack frame and it outputted a warning to standard output, which ended up in some of the files that were produced during the build process. Anyway... I took care of that, but then it appears that near the end of the build process, Java suffered an internal error of some kind. So I tinkered with that a bit and I discovered that the almost complete native build for FreeBSD could run. So I decided to try to finish the build process, by getting it to build itself. But it suffered a slightly different error. So... Then I went through the documentation for FreeBSD some more and decided to start over by reinstalling the Linux Java using: cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk15 make install clean But now I get the following error: linux-sun-jdk-1.5.0.01,2 does not run (core dumps: Bad System Call). Note that previously I manually installed it by simply downloading the Linux version on another computer, transfering it over to the computer, and executing the file. BTW... The computer is not connected to the internet. And in case it makes any difference, its a 64-bit dual processor Xeon. The problem should probably be obvious to me. But its not and as a result, I would be grateful for assistance. Thanks in advance, Franklin E.

Re: Native POSIX threads + Java under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386
Dear Dan, Thanks for your answer! A follow-up: Why would they require an OS-specific threads library, instead of simply requiring Posix threads? I can tell you right now that Solaris doesn't support NPTL, just the same way Linux doesn't support Solaris's thread library :) Interesting. The people who wrote the software told me that they used to have a version that worked well with the Linux 2.4 kernel threads version. Then, they said they had improved their software, and that it's based around the threading system as it is present in the Linux 2.6 kernel. They did indeed mention that we require Posix threads, so I guess they mean to say that we require Posix threads (rather than relying on a Linux 2.6 kernel perse). If you have limited time, I'd say just use either Solaris 10 or Linux. If you have problems on FreeBSD, they won't help you. Yes, I just called the client, and he strongly recommended simply looking for a Debian-9 or SuSe-9 system. I think I'll simply try that... I'm looking somewhat into the support for NPTL under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386, and I have come across the following URL: http://www.unobvious.com/bsd/freebsd-threads.html From this, it sounds like the LinuxThreads (i.e. /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads) should do the trick. That page is 2 years old, and even says right in the middle, before comparing libc_r and linuxthreads: WARNING: The rest of this document does not describe thread support in FreeBSD 5.x . You have been warned. :) I think I didn't express myself the way I meant to (sorry for that). Basically what I meant to write was that from the document I gathered that the /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads port is what should be used. But indeed upon re-reading my own text, it suggests that I had gathered from the document that that would work under versions 5.x as well (which was not what I meant to imply). Anyway, your following answer basically answers what I wanted to know: Can anyone tell me something about the following: 1) Does the linuxthreads library provide 100% NPTL support, as under Linux? Linuxthreads is the Linux 2.4 and below threads package. NPTL is the name for the threads implementation in Linux 2.6 kernels. As far as I know, linuxthreads and NPTL are relatively ABI-compatible. From this, I gather the linuxthreads port will not give me the threading system as used in the Linux 2.6 kernel then... O.k., I think I know enough for now: I'll first try having a go at Red Hat or SuSe then Thanks again, and cheers!

Native POSIX threads + Java under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386
Hi all, As is typical, I have once again been given very limited time to get something running, and there are some interesting things to figure about about it. :) In brief, the application is a distributed one, loosely based on some CORBA concepts, though differently (fortunately!). The supported programming languages are C/C++/Java/Ada, of which Java will probably be the one we would like to use. Now, the issue is (or may be), that the recommended (and only tested) platforms are Solaris and Linux (particularly Red Hat and SuSe - kernel versions 9). The apparent reason for this, is that the platform requires the NPTL (Native Posix Threads Library). I'm looking somewhat into the support for NPTL under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386, and I have come across the following URL: http://www.unobvious.com/bsd/freebsd-threads.html From this, it sounds like the LinuxThreads (i.e. /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads) should do the trick. However, I have no experience with these threads and I wonder whether it is a good idea to try to get the platform working under FreeBSD (my favourite Unix), or whether it may be better to install Red Hat or SuSe this once. :) Can anyone tell me something about the following: 1) Does the linuxthreads library provide 100% NPTL support, as under Linux? 2) Does usage of the library incur a kernel recompilation, or will all scripts of the platform have to be changed such that the linuxthreads library is linked in? 3) A different question: what is the best JDK 1.4.x port to install, and does one of those perhaps have support for NPTL? I hope anyone can help me out a bit with this, even if it only is about whether to make the best choice between figuring out how to get this platform going under FreeBSD (being the Unix with which most experience I have), or whether to try to go Linux and have a -perhaps- more straightforward installation of the platform (at the expense of not knowing the particular intricacies of those Linuxes). Help/opinions are very much appreciated. :) Cheers!

The kernel don't come into the equation. If you want to use Linuxthreads with an existing threaded application, you will need to recompile (take a look at one of the mysql ports to see how to configure a program for linuxthreads). All the native FreeBSD threads libraries (libpthread, libthr, libc_r) are ABI-compatible with each other (so you can switch between them via libmap.conf) but not with Linuxthreads. 3) A different question: what is the best JDK 1.4.x port to install, and does one of those perhaps have support for NPTL?

Java on FreeBSD?
Hello, I've been trying to get Matlab to work on FreeBSD for a few days now, but I'm not sure if the error is in the FreeBSD implementation of Java or in Matlab itself. Matlab is technically not supposed to run on FreeBSD but I've been to websites where people claim they have it running via Linux compatibility libraries (linuxcompat) I guess I really have two questions: 1) does Java work on FreeBSD (and how), 2) does Matlab work on FreeBSD (and how?)

Matlab is technically not supposed to run on FreeBSD but I've been to websites where people claim they have it running via Linux compatibility libraries (linuxcompat) I guess I really have two questions: 1) does Java work on FreeBSD (and how), 2) does Matlab work on FreeBSD (and how?) Any information you have would be worth it's weight in gold (fortunately for my pocketbook, information is pretty light!) so thanks in advance! I've attached some error reports, maybe they'll be useful... Sam Post Matlab will work on FreeBSD (using Linux binary support), but you have to muck around with the startup scripts to make it believe FreeBSD is a supported platform. As for Java, you obviously have discovered that the native JDK in FreeBSD 4.x doesn't work very well. My suggestion would be to install the Linux JDK, and create some fancy symlinks if Matlab doesn't allow for specifying where the java executable is located. Hope this helps. -- Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Native Java in FreeBSD when?
FreeBSD Team, I was excited to hear the announcement of a native FreeBSD implementation of Sun's JVM. This would finally let me get rid of Linux in situations where I need to deploy a Java based solution or have to worry about the quirks of running under Linux emu or rolling my own from source. Unfortunately I haven't seen any news as to when this will be made available beyond the 'should be available in 4.5 Jan 2002' which doesn't appear to be the case. Is Greg still actively developing this, I haven't seen any announcements of patches past November. Any information you could provide me would be wonderful.

Is Greg still actively developing this, I haven't seen any announcements of patches past November. Any information you could provide me would be wonderful. It's available right now: % java -version java version 1.3.1-p7 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-p7-root-021102-09:14) Classic VM (build 1.3.1-p7-root-021102-09:14, green threads, nojit) However: i) Sun's licencing terms mean that the FreeBSD project can't redistribute a pre-compiled (pkg) version of the JDK. That means you're going to have to download the source and build it yourself. ii) Sun's licensing terms mean that you can't just automatically pull down the source code from an FTP site or a web server: you have to jump through various hoops and click on various buttons to agree that you will abide by their terms when you download the sources. The Makefile for the java/jdk13 port explains exactly what to do. iii) Similarly, you've got to click on various buttons in order to download a bundle of patches to make the source code compile on FreeBSD. iv) To compile the JDK, you need to have a JDK already installed. By default the jdk13 port will install one of the linux JDKs to get you going. Once you've built and installed the native JDK you can uninstall the linux JDK and use NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP=yes in order to do further updates. v) Only jdk-1.3.1 is available as a native version yet. Efforts to port jdk-1.4.x are under way: see the freebsd-java@ list if you would like more info. I never did understand why the Linuxers could redistribute a pre-compiled JDK, and the FreeBSD project can't.
