[Geoserver-users] Which JRE to install on production server

Hi everyone

Oracle has this JRE version for Server (64 bit) installation:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html#sjre-7u80-oth-JPR

But for installing geoserver as service in this link the screenshot recommends 32 bit

http://docs.geoserver.org/2.8.x/en/user/installation/win_installer.html

To optimize the performance on production environment - which JRE should I choose to install? or does this make any difference. And also JAI are available only for 32 bit for Window. I wanted to apply these settings to optimize the performance as I have plenty of memory on my server.

Please advise.

Thanks

If you need JAI your options on windows are as you say limited to the 32 bit JVM. If you want to make more memory available to the JVM then you will require the 64bit version.

Without knowing more I suspect you have two options, move to 64 bit linux and JVM or cluster your geoserver instances on 32 bit JVM instance on the same machine and use a load balancer.

Hi Victor

Thanks for your response. I installed JAI for performance. I am using only WFS and WMS- no images to serve. But number of users (400) is large and workspace contain 40 layers (though users have to turn on and less likely one person is using more than 10 layers. Installing JAI and turning it on showed speed gain in testing phase But i am wondering if I should have gone JVM 64 bit route instead. Is there downside later for production? Not a Java expert!

Thanks
