I found many questions and answers about this general topic, but my question is more specific I think.
Tomcat 5 comes with a configuration utility which is installed on the start menu on Windows XP under Start-->Programs-->Apache Tomcat 5.0-->Configure Tomcat. This pop-up has a Java tab which has two memory settings, Initial memory pool and Maximum memory pool. My question is does the tomcat Windows service obey these settings, or do I have to re-create the service with new memory parameters each time I want to increase the memory (add a web application for example). Thanks, Derrick
