[Helma-user] Mysterious crash deploying on Dreamhost

[Maksim Lin for technical support mailling lists]

Hi Phil,

It might be worth checking what version of java they provide (try on the
console: java -version) - I seem to remember something simliar happenign
a while back when I tried running helma with gcj (the default java
implementation on many linux distributions)

Also while the java jvm is quite memory heavy, helma is actually one of
the most memory efficient java apps that I have ever used - espeically a
server-side one and it runs very well on the VPS (virtual private
server) hosting service that I use. So if it is a memory constraint
problem on your hosting service I very much doubt you will get an java
based app that will use less memory then helma.

Maks.
