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.
