Is there a documentation that I can refer to that explains the startegies used by JBoss-AS for gargabe collection? Any pointers that allow show me how to tune the AS will help.
Or
Does JBoss uses the default JVMs like Sun JVM and anything that is applicable to Sun JVM will be applicable to JBoss-AS too?
Try these white papers that I wrote:
http://www.cmg.org/proceedings/2004/4032.pdf
http://www.cmg.org/proceedings/2005/5010.pdf
I usually present one papge on JVM tuning every year at the CMG, so look at the other years for additional papers.
