JDK BSD NewBee

[Alden Taylor]

Hi all,

I'm a BSD newbie with a couple of simple questions.

Does the 1.4 jdk implementation implement the hotspot optimizer?  And 
are the threads green or native - and what is the difference?  I've 
read that the jdk1.3 binary does not implement hotspot and uses green 
threads and I'm trying to decide if upgrading to the jdk 1.4 will 
improve my servlet application's performance.

Also, I've noticed that there are ports for things like tomcat and 
other java third party extensions.  Can anyone tell me the difference 
between the ports version and those that I would download from say 
jakarta.apache.org?  I've compiled mod_jk from the apache source using 
the mac os X compile instructions, as those were the only that I could 
get to work, will my compiled mod_jk work better if I use the ports?  
I'm new to the ports system as I come from the land of RedHat LInux and 
Mac OS X.

Thanks for all of your help.
Alden
