To prevent load address collisions, set preferred base addresses with the rebase utilty that comes

with Visual Studio and the Platform SDK. Use the rebase utility to reassign the base addresses of

the Application Server DLLs to prevent relocations at load time and increase the available

process memory for the Java heap.

There are a few Application Server DLLs that have non-default base addresses that can cause

collisions. For example:

■

The nspr libraries have a preferred address of 0x30000000.

■

The icu libraries have the address of 0x4A?00000.

Move these libraries near the system DLLs (msvcrt.dll is at 0x78000000) to increase the

available maximum contiguous address space substantially. Since rebasing can be done on any

DLL, rebase to the DLLs after installing the Application Server.

To rebase the Application Server’s DLLs

To perform rebasing, you need:

■

Windows 2000

■

Visual Studio and the Microsoft Framework SDK rebase utility

Make install_dir\ bin the default directory.

cd install_dir\bin

Enter this command:

rebase -b 0x6000000 *.dll

Use the dependencywalker utility to make sure the DLLs were rebased correctly.

For more information, see the

Dependency Walker website.

Increase the size for the Java heap, and set the JVM Option accordingly on the JVM Settings

page in the Admin Console.

Restart the Application Server.

Heap Conguration on Windows

This is an example heap conguration used by Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server for heavy

server-centric applications, on Windows, as set in the domain.xml le.

<jvm-options> -Xms1400m </jvm-options>

<jvm-options> -Xmx1400m </jvm-options>

For more information on rebasing, see MSDN documentation for rebase utility.
