Subject: 32-bit service on 64-bit windows?
Can I install a 32-bit jvm and create a tc 5.5.28 service on win 2008
64-bit server?
Yes. The mode of the service wrapper must match the mode of the JVM
to be used, not the mode of the OS. Note that the 5.5.28 .exe
installer incorrectly checks the mode of the OS rather than the JVM,
so it will install the wrong service wrapper for your situation. The
easiest way around this is to use the .zip download, which includes
the 32-bit service wrapper.
Well, you don't say.
No sooner do I post a piece of wisdom to this list, that I am
instantly being contradicted by one of the sommities on it.
So, is it true, can one run 32-bit programs on 64-bit Windows ?
I was under the impression that this did not work, having had a number
of error messages that last time I had a chance to try.
It depends on the .exe, but in my experience, most "user" applications
will work. Ones that try to run as a service may be an exception; this
is the first time I've tried to install a service on x64.
It looks loike in addition I have an attention problem, because I missed
Chuck's first phrase above.
Apart from that, I know that I have a Tomcat 5.5 running as a Windows
service somewhere under a 64-bit Windows XP.
But I thought I remembered needing for that a 64-bit JVM, and I also
needed a 64-bit tomcatX.exe, but which bitness I associated with the
platform, not with the JVM.
But now I am a bit confused again, because it seems that the bitness of
the tomcatX.exe has not to do with the platform, but everything to do
with the chosen JVM, which could be a 32-bit version even on a 64-bit
platform.
So is this tomcatX.exe then always a 32-bit application ?
