    system requirements for jboss seam

    miketech

      Hi,

      I have an old machine and wanna use it for developing with jboss seam. It is a 600 MHz machine with 256 MB RAM, running an ubuntu linux.

      Do you think this is enough for jboss seam? Should I use the JBoss AS or Tomcat with seam? Tomcat should use less memory right?

      Greetings

          Why not just try it and see? And yes, I would recommend using Tomcat. It's possible to slim down JBoss quite a bit, but it does have a good size out of the box footprint in the profile that's required for Seam.

            Well, you can try, but I think its going to be very painful. I strongly recommend more memory than that.

              I used to work in a Win XP 512Mb RAM with JBOSS 4 + JBoss Eclipse. It was on the edge. With 1Gb of RAM it's perfect... but also consider a better processor.

              In my old AMD XP 2000/512M RAM -> 1min 30sec to start JBOSS from Eclipse

              In my new AMD Athlon 3800/1Gb RAM -> 25 sec

                Hi,

                thanks for your answers. Well sorry. I meant, I wanna run the applications on this machine. The development will happen on another one. So I don't need eclipse or anything else but JBoss Seam with a database behind working on it.

                More memory or cpu power is not possible at the moment and I can't try it out, because the machine isn't here at the moment. But I wanted to start developing the application, but if it won't work it's wasted time :)

                The other way to do it is JSF + Hibernate, without any additional framework. Maybe this is working better?

                  May be this wil help... I used to run a small JSF application JBoss 4.0.3 on PIII,500MHz,256MB RAM. The deployment was pretty slow (so I dont recommend it for development) but once deployed it did the job (I also didn't have high load btw).

                    Hi svadu,

                    thanks. Good to know, that JBoss works on it. Tomcat should be enough for my app. But you have only been working with JSF, not the full JBoss Seam framework, right?

                      Rights, I was already using ajax4jsf though. But just from my experience when I upgraded my webapp from JSF to Seam that runs on Resin on remote hosting I actually gained a lot of performance due to introduction of conversation (had to use request before) that allowed to use some sort of caching.

                        Ok, thanks. I will give it a try and hope, that it works :)
