1. Re: jboss as 6 rc1 on 64bit-machine
manarh Dec 16, 2010 6:03 AM (in response to nimo22)jboss as 6 can be used by 64 or 32 bit jvm. Why are you thinking that the distribution should be different for 64bit architecture?

2. Re: jboss as 6 rc1 on 64bit-machine
nimo22 Dec 16, 2010 7:15 AM (in response to manarh)I have thought, that 64Bit-Machines need 64Bit-compiled code. So if Jboss AS Distribution were compiled using a 32-Bit-Machine, then it will not really 64-Bit-enabled. Is that false?
I want to setup a 64 bit machine with both jdk32Bit and jdk64Bit and want to use the JBOSS AS with jdk64Bit. So am I right to say that I do not need to setup anything (besides the path to the preferred jdk) ?
For example, in order to use Eclipse on 64Bit-Machine, I need to download the 64Bit-Version of Eclipse. Of course, I can use the 32Bit-Version of Eclipse on a 64Bit-Machine (am I right ??), but then it makes no use of 64-Bit-capabilities.
Are there any pittfalls?

manarh Dec 16, 2010 7:28 AM (in response to nimo22)If you need run any native code which is called from java, you need equivalent compiled code for the given architecture 32 or 64 bit. Eclipse is a such case.
If your java application is using only java APIs not native code calls, you need only select JVM to be architecture specific.

4. Re: jboss as 6 rc1 on 64bit-machine
nimo22 Dec 16, 2010 7:45 AM (in response to manarh)So java-projects without native code are 64-bit-treated, if using JDK64.
I do not need to compile my java code (which has no native code) against a jdk64-bit version to have a 64bit version of that java project. Am I right? Only the using of a jdk64bit is sufficient to treat the java app as a 64-bit-java-app.
thanks!

manarh Dec 16, 2010 7:56 AM (in response to nimo22)right, Java bytecode is platform independent.

6. Re: jboss as 6 rc1 on 64bit-machine
nimo22 Dec 16, 2010 9:01 AM (in response to manarh)yes, indeed, java is plattform independent.
Therefore jboss as is also totally plattform-independent - jbossAS and all its included things (webcontainer, jars,...) does not make use of any plattform-dependent-source (dll or the like).
thanks.
