OutOfMemory on FreeBSD

2005-05-22 Thread Lane 
Hello,

I'm trying to find how to send jvm parameters (-Xm128m) to the JVM during 
tomcat startup.  I have an application (openreports) that fails with 
outofmemory exception intermittently.

I have seen some references here and there, but nothing that indicates which 
tomcat (or java, [or freebsd]) configuration file that I need to touch.

Any pointers are appreciated.

thanks,

lane

Hey, I guess I can answer my own question!  Don't you just love it when that 
happens!

The makefile for tomcat5 on FreeBSD doesn't give the option to add additional 
parameters.  There is probably a better way to do this than to hard-code more 
variables, but I'm not sure how to do it.  So for anyone else who runs into 
OutOfMemory exceptions on FreeBSD or the dreaded Can't connect to X DISPLAY 
error, make these changes to /usr/ports/www/jakarta-tomcat5/Makefile:

In the do-install target: 

change: 

-e /%%JAVA_ARGS%%/s//\-Dcatalina.home=${APP_HOME:S/\//\\\//g}\,/g \

to:

-e /%%JAVA_ARGS%%/s//\-Djava.awt.headless=true\,\-Xms128m\,\-Xmx256m\,
\-Dcatalina.home=${APP_HOME:S/\//\\\//g}\,/g \

then do:

make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER do-install

This will overwrite the current tomcat50ctl but will preserve your existing 
tomcat installation.

You can set the environment variable JAVA_OPTS, e.g.
export JAVA_OPTS='-Xm128m'

Note that this would require writing a wrapper script to call the Tomcat
scripts, since it'd be silly to do this by hand all the time.

The extra script may sound like a pain, but it actually makes your setup
less sensitive to Tomcat upgrades because you won't have to modify
anything in the Tomcat tree.
