Hi, I know we've attempted to work this but something is definitely wrong in OpenNMS 1.14 and beyond. At first, I thought it was a java issue, however, it's not or only partially. It crashes using the java on FreeBSD whether it's linux java or the openjdk. Openjdk crashes almost immediately while the linux java continues for a longer duration but also crashes.
Guys, this is Java. Code ported to java is supposed to run in a JRE without issue. Here's the main problem: I used to have 1.08 running on FreeBSD8. Recently, I've been trying to get this working on FreeBSD 10 so that I can create a page on the OpenNMS site to handle this while I get the port for FreeBSD complete. However, I've been getting e-mail from other people asking me the status as 1.10 used to work on FreeBSD 9.x and 1.14 and 1.15 no longer work on any type of java on FreeBSD. (These people have found that nothing works on FreeBSD 10 or 11 (BETA) and not one of the JDKs works without crashing over time.) This leads me to believe that something in the OpenNMS XML code is not being handled correctly or there is a conditional that is not handled correctly. Please review the code that was introduced between 1.10 and 1.14. Something is amiss and I'm ok handling the e-mails from FreeBSD users but I no longer believe this is an issue solely between the Oracle/Linux JDK and OpenJDK. Also, the opennms community is stating that the product doesn't work with openjdk. However, openjdk is supposed to be 100% compatible with all other JDKs. I'm urging the OpenNMS developers to start looking into this as the product should work in all JDKs, isn't that what Java is all about? FreeBSD is POSIX compliant just like the BSD database PostGreSQL is POSIX SQL database compliant. So, please dig into this and find out what is going on. (Courtesy of the work Ron Roskens and others have put in, I believe that a place to start may be code that points to epoll on Linux where FreeBSD uses kqueue.) So... given that Apple uses Darwin OS, which seems to be relying less and less on the Mach kernel and heading towards pure FreeBSD kernel and userland, this may be a good time to address this before the issue becomes a showstopper on Apple OSX as well.
