Minimum system requirements??

alliumporrum Jun 22, 2006 5:42 AM

Hi!

I have searched for a while from jboss.org, but I just can't find any information of minimum hardware requirements for JBoss 3 & 4. Could someone please tell me where can I find these??

I'm running on Ubuntu 6, and I'm not sure yet if I should use version 3 or 4 from JBoss, so are there any differences on the minimum requirements between these two versions??

JBoss is quite lightweight and you can slim it down further if needed.

Use the latest 4.0.4.GA

Thank you guys for your answers!

I´m just hoping to run JBoss on my old 600Mhz laptop with 256 RAM and Ubuntu 6, so is it really out of the question? I mean, in that document mentioned before it said that 512 is the minimum.

I wouldn't be running any critical realtime server or any hard-loaded webserver though, just few small applications the connect to the internet every now and then.

Of course, if it just won't work with 256Mb I'll buy some more memory 'cause it's really so cheap today ;=)

What do you exactly mean with this? How can I slim it down to work in some older computer??

I found one instructions for slimming down the JBoss from here:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossASTuningSliming

I removed all the services that I do not need, and I managed to get JBoss 4 running with the 384Mb of memory. Browser will be also successfully started to port 8080. BUT, when I click the Tomcat administration link from the browser, the whole system will crash, and only way to fix it to reboot the computer. I don't see any errors anywhere, the system just stucks so that even SSH connection cannot be established anymore.

So does this really mean that JBoss cannot be run at all under 512Mb of RAM??
