Janne - what evidence do you have that Java 6 is not as stable as 1.5? What kind of stability are you referrring to? ..Milt
jspwiki.org sometimes experiences very high-load conditions (load 20+ +). Java 5 seems to handle these better, whereas Java 6 gets stuck in them for much longer periods of time. During this time, the server is unresponsive. We have a shell script which reaps stuck Tomcats and restarts the container.
With JDK6, these restarts occur about daily. With Java 5, the restarts occur every four-five days.
