Greeting All,

I want to achieve transparent persistence of Java objects through memory-mapped files (utilize the OS paging/swapping mechanism).

My problem is: how can I move a Java object to my memory-mapped block ? Plus, how can I force a new object instance to reside in such blocks ?

As you all know, a memory-mapped block can be seen as a byte array, and what I am really asking here is how to overlap the address space of Java objects with the one of such arrays ?

If Java does not allow me for this, what cross-platform & garbage-collecting OO language would you advise me to use ?

Thank you all in advance.

I'm looking at some memory mapped files in Java. Let's say I have a heap size set to 2gb, and I memory map a file that is 50gb - far more than the physical memory on the machine. The OS will cache parts of that 50gb file in the os file cache, the java process will have 2gb of heap space. What I'm… >>> More
