BEA JRockit

BEA JRockit Java Virtual Machine is designed to deliver superior application performance, reliability, and run-time manageability for mission-critical Java applications running on Intel platforms. BEA JRockit is the first and only JVM designed from the ground up specifically to address the unique requirements of server-side Java applications. BEA JRockit is certified and supported on a variety of operating systems for Intel-based hardware platforms, ensuring you the best price-performance advantage for your application infrastructure.

As part of the WebLogic Platform, BEA JRockit JVM allows you to easily leverage its advanced capabilities when developing and deploying your own Java applications. The following links will direct you to more information about Using BEA JRockit and some its features, including:

- Garbage collection
- Management console
- Profiling and debugging

If you are currently using another JVM with your application, switching to the BEA JRockit JVM is easy. Simply select the BEA JRockit SDK within the Configuration Wizard when creating a new application domain. Then, follow the guidelines provided in Tuning BEA JRockit 8.1 JVM to configure and tune the BEA JRockit instance for your specific application.

Finally, while all JVMs are developed and certified to be compatible with the Sun Java Compatibility Kit, there can be differences in their implementations that might cause applications to behave differently. So, in order to minimize any unexpected issues with your application's behavior when it's running on BEA JRockit rather than another JVM, we provide the BEA JRockit Migration Guide, a valuable reference when developing and deploying applications on different JVMs.

For more detailed information, please refer to the complete BEA JRockit SDK documentation set.
