I would be really skeptical about using ActiveMQ on any platform without it being certified by the ActiveMQ. Simple java apps typically run fine on most jdk's but for middleware like ActiveMQ which use lots of threading I would never go by the assumption that the app would run on any platform which uses JDK.
I used to work on a company specific middleware app and we ran into sooo many issues with the threading misbehaviour on AIX and also tons of AIX JDK bugs. We caught most of them when running test cases but the real painful ones showed up only when running the app for long durations and these hard to track bugs gave us lots of sleepless nights. For anyone interested, I can dig through my emails and post some of these issues. Many of our test cases also failed on JDK 1.4 on Itanium (64 bit Win 2003). Its critical that you use JDK 1.4.2 or later on Itanium or else there will be several failure's. Bottom line, unless you're experimenting with an app, do not assume that java apps/libraries will work on a non-certifed stack. Sanjiv On 7/7/06, Charles Anthony <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I would hesitate to put words in the developers mouths, but since ActiveMQ is a java system, it'll run anywhere with 1.4 JVM. I've had it running on NT4.0, XP, W2K, Solaris, HP/UX, AS/400. I haven't used a Windows 2003 box (had no need to yet), but I would put not inconsiderable amounts of money on it working. Of course, being officially "supported" is slightly different (especially in open source, where it all gets a bit hazy, since what does "supported" actually mean), but basically, got 1.4 JVM ? Get AMQ. I should stay away our sales team; I'm being tainted. -----Original Message----- From: Rodriguez, Adrian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 July 2006 22:14 To: [email protected] Subject: server 2003 support I noticed that Windows 2000 and XP are supported. Are there any reasons why Server 2003 might not be supported? thanx <adrian /> ___________________________________________________________ HPD Software Ltd. - Helping Business Finance Business Email terms and conditions: www.hpdsoftware.com/disclaimer
