I suppose the correct answer to the OPs question that Peter should have supplied would go something like this:
Yes, Tomcat should run the same on a 64-bit Windows installation so long as the JVM used, and optionally the Windows service executable and native-library dll, are all of the same architecture, either 32-bit or 64-bit. You may pick whichever architecture you wish to run under, as long as you understand the limits inherent in each. How's that? -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:chuck.caldar...@unisys.com] Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 3:41 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Tomcat 6.0 x64 > From: Jeffrey Janner [mailto:jeffrey.jan...@polydyne.com] > Subject: RE: Tomcat 6.0 x64 > > I've heard that the Tomcat 5.5.28 installer for Windows can distinguish > the bitness of the OS and install appropriately. Careful; it's not the "bitness" of the OS that's important, it's the "bitness" of the JVM that is the determining factor. A 32-bit JVM running on a 64-bit OS still requires the 32-bit native library. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
