RE: Setting JVM Parameters in Windows Service for Tomcat7

That's why the registry values exist. That's a good point! Thanks for the nice discussion. Matthias - can you please elaborate on exactly what it is not practicable for our production environment means? I want to put the configuration files and property settings in a local VCS (e.g. a local git) so that I can track the changes. But now I see, that there are some technical reasons for using the registry. I think I will use a batch-script then which sets the registry. Matthias PS There are two ways of setting the registry: 1. CLI via tomcat.exe //US//Tomcat7 ... There are some examples in the service.bat file. 2. gui via tomcatw.exe But I think both ways are not compatible. I.E. when using tomcat.exe //US//Tomcat7 I won't find the values in tomcatw.exe But that's not a problem for me. Not to nitpick, but there is a 3rd way. (Not that I'd really recommend it for someone who can't get the Tomcat GUI to work for them.) Use regedit to export the Procrun branch of the registry tree to a registry merge file, which you can then modify with notepad.exe. Then all you have to do is double-click the merge file to have the setting replace those in the registry. Remember, I don't recommend this unless you really know what you're doing. It's by far easier to use the GUI. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Hi Patrick
if passing the -D options are not working for you when running service why not
SET JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m
and then run the service?
net start will *usually* display running services so you can see if TC star

Hi Mikolaj,
I got it to work. I was not using a space after the --JvmMs and --
JvmMx switches.
So in summary the following works: \tomcat7.exe //US//tomcat7 --JvmMs
512 --JvmMx 1024
Thanks for everyone's help.
