Judging from "/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh" you mention, I assume you're on Linux (or another Unix-like platform). If so, it will probably not matter much where you set an environment variable "java_opts" because it's "JAVA_OPTS" that gets passed to the java command starting Tomcat. IMO the Tomcat-provided scripts like cataline.sh should not be modified. Instead set JAVA_OPTS in setenv.sh (create it if it doesn't already exist). setenv.sh will be sourced by catalina.sh. BTW: unless you really need the options set even when stopping Tomcat, CATALINA_OPTS may be the better choice to set your options. -- Regards mks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
