Do you know what your client is wanting from java? If they are writing
a simple web application (known as a WAR), then tomcat/apache with
mod_jk or mod_jk2 will work. If they require EJBs (Enterprise Java
Beans), the you will need more than a servlet engine. Jboss,
http://jboss.com/downloads/index#as, will run EJBs and servlets, and
it uses tomcat for its servlet engine. You will use mod_jk or mod_jk2
with jboss as well.

You can create a new user account. I would recommend a shell of
/bin/false if these users are using an email client like thunderbird

sasl.

Re: MAXPHYS and MAXBSIZE

2005-07-26 Thread Corey Brune
According to sys/param.h:

MAXPHYS - max raw I/O transfer size

MAXBSIZE -   Filesystems are made out of blocks of at most MAXBSIZE bytes
   per block.  MAXBSIZE may be made larger without effecting
   any existing filesystems as long as it does not exceed MAXPHYS,
   and may be made smaller at the risk of not being able to use
   filesystems which require a block size exceeding MAXBSIZE.

I've had apps that had over 800k subdirectories and files. As long as
you know the filename, performance will not be an issue. However, if
you don't know the full path, then you may want to either redesign the
app or consider storing everything in the DB. The apps that I've seen
had the full path stored in the database, and the image on a file
server.

I've also had apps that stored everything in the database, and that
turned out to be a nightmare. Eventually, we moved everything from the
DB to the filesystem.

A process cannot be killed in certain situations. For instance, if the
process is waiting on a IO request, it will block all signals until the
request is completed or fails. Could you mount /proc, and do a truss on the
process? Also, which version of FreeBSD are you running?

Thanks,
Corey
