Hi Roger, Probably a late reply, but will be useful for someone else who has this issue of setting PermSize on Windows when starting Tomcat through the service: http://www.smartsoftwarebits.com/qaa/46-misc/81-howto-set-java-options-for-tomcat-on-windows
When installing a service in windows (using the service.bat install command), the --JvmMx, --JvmMs, --JvmSs etc. can be used as shown here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html --- Regards, Saptarshi PURKAYASTHA My Tech Blog: http://sunnytalkstech.blogspot.com You Live by CHOICE, Not by CHANCE On 18 August 2011 00:45, Friedman, Roger (CDC/CGH/DGHA) (CTR) <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm on Windows and am using the Control Panel>>Services to start/stop/try > to stop Tomcat.
