Or you can edit the registry, it is not that bad. Search for your service name...
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/24/03 12:26 PM >>> You must rebuild the service with the new options. "$CATALINA_HOME$\bin\tomcat.exe" -install "Apache Tomcat 4.1" "$JAVA_HOME$\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" -Xmx512m -Xms256m -Djava.class.path="$CATALINA_HOME$\bin\bootstrap.jar" -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$CATALINA_HOME$\common\endorsed" -Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME$" -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -err "$CATALINA_HOME$\logs\stderr.log" Replace $CATALINA_HOME$ and $JAVA_HOME$ with the appropriate values. Change -Xmx and -Xms as appropriate. We use instsrv with the REMOVE command to remove the old service before running the above, or rename the service. This is easier than re-installing tomcat. -----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 1:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how-to specify Java runtime options -Xmx128m, w/ Tomcat 4 as Win2k service after assigning the following environment variables the java runtime options as follows: eg: JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx128m -Xms128m tried with: CATALINA_OPTS JAVA_OPTS amount of RAM memory used stayed aprox the same. Though i was expecting more memory to be used because of the extra memory that should have been allotted to java instance for Tomcat. Consequently, i am assuming that options were not applied by simply setting these environment variables, at least when Tomcat is started as a service. Where and how are java runtime options to be specified with Tomcat 4.1 (JDK 1.4.2) when it is started as a win2k service?
