The Java Stack Size

807569Jul 29 2006 — edited Jul 29 2006
I apologize if im not using the right technical terms...

How much memory is allocated for the JVM's stack?
Is it as much RAM as the JVM has or is it some portion of it?
Is it always the same size? Is it preallocated as some contigous
stretch of memory?

I recently implemented a rather memory hungry recursive method
that works fine but it got me curious about the size of the instruction stack and how much memory it had access to.

Despite my technical knowledge ive recently become very interested in the inner workings of the JVM (compilers and VMs generally actually).
Can anyone suggest a good book?
