which (bugfree) JVMs do you recommended?

[tthiele]

Due to the Bug #4724356 (see: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4724356.html) in the SUN JDK JBoss is crashing very often when running at high load or even druing (re)deploying. I'm using JBoss 3.2.X and SUN JDK >1.3.0. We are bound to JDK1.3 but experiments with JDK 1.4.X gives similar results: sometimes memory usage 'explodes' and the system fires OutOfMemoryExceptions and/or terminates with SIGSEG exception.

So, which JDK resp. JVM is save to run a production system with JBoss?

hello everybody,

in order to get a stable environment for JBoss please go to this url

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4724356.html

and vote for this bug so that SUN starts soon to fix it. Eventually you need to register an account.

We are running our application.ear on JBoss 3.2.2 and Sun JDK 1.3.1_09 on Win2k. However, we are getting the JVM crash with all 1.3 versions on Win and Linux.

thanks

Wow!
this bug is now second on the Top 25 list. I hope SUN will soon(er) start to fix the bug.

thanks,
Tilo

PS:
The toppest one is obviously submitted by the JBoss team.
