JavaServiceWrapper on 64bit linux, any problems?

Question

We've been using the 32bit linux version of the JavaServiceWrapper for quite a while now and it's working perfectly. We are now considering also using it on 64bit linux systems. There are downloads for 64bit binaries on the website, but looking into Makefile for the 64bit version I found the following comment, though: # This makefile is in progess. It builds, but the resulting libwrapper.so does not yet work. # If you know how to fix it then please help out.

Can anyone confirm, that this comment is just outdated and the resulting wrapper will work without flaws?

Answer 1

From http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html :

Binary distributions are provided for the following list of platforms and are available on the download page. Only OS versions which are known to work have been listed.

(snip...)

• linux - Linux kernels; 2.2.x 2.4.x, 2.6.x. Known to work with Debian and Red Hat, but should work with any distribution. Currently supported on both 32 and 64-bit x86, and 64-bit ppc systems.

Answer 2

@Espo: I've read the documentation but I also read the Makefile. Which one's right now? I would have been more interested in some real world experience but as nobody reported any problems, maybe it just works?!

Answer 3

I've had it running in production on 64-bit red hat without any trouble for the last year or so.
