JIT compiler -server options

[suneth desoyza]

Hi all,
My computer details as follows,
32bit, 2 processors(3g), 1g ram, win XP, jdk 1.5_5

so this is not a server class machine and is client. but I set the server compiler (JVM opt as -server) for the tomcat,s jvm.

the problem is, as i know, even though i set the server compiler, this should set the client compiler (default for client compiler). BUT jconsole SHOWS that JIT compiler as SERVER. WHY it is not set back (default) to the client compiler even though the computer is client class

Where do you get that from?

I do not think that I have understood the question completely.
server , client are runtime parameters , not compile time parameters.

If you are referring to the "-client" and "-server" parameters of "java", then those don't seem to influence the "java.vm.name" system property (at least on my machine they don't - it's always " Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM"). But they do influence the "java.vm.info" property.

thanks for replying,

this means that if i set the jit compiler, "java.vm.info" property is changed and not the "java.vm.name".

but does this give the wrong information in jconsole?
