Hi Thanks. the two applications run on their own and don't share jvm so I can use different versions - but the webapp I have deployed in tomcat server requires it to be either on 5.0.28 or 5.5.17 (but using j2sdk1.4.2_12) - we are using 5.0.28.
thanks for clarifying the behavior of memory - do you see any performance gains if I switch to 5.5.17 from 5.0.28 . the only problem I have on my end i that I have to use plugin for 5.5.17 for backward compatibility to j2sdk1.4.2_12. thanks Christopher Schultz-2 wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > tootbatoot wrote: > | The reason we have to stick to using this version is that it is > recommended > | by another application that tomcat is acting as a client to. > > Do you mean that your (Tomcat-hosted) application is connecting to a > 3rd-party application?
