Setting the parameters in Catalina.bat would not work if you run Tomcat as a service since you service is calling tomcat.exe directly and not startup.bat or Catalina.bat.
But to test out before you start the service you can put the values in CATALINA_OPTS = -Xms128m -Xmx258 etc and run Catalina.bat. You can also set the values as Environment Variables and forget about changing it in Catalina.bat To Run it as service and with the parameters follow the link http://www.mattkelli.com/tech/tomcat/ntservice.htm Hope this helps Hari -----Original Message----- From: Nathan McMinn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 5:22 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Startup parameters OK, one quick question that I'm sure anybody here but me can answer. I am running Tomcat as a service on windows 2000 server. I want to set some JVM parameters when tomcat starts (things like -server, -Xmx, -Xms, etc). Where would I go about making these changes? I've looked through the catalina.bat file, but is this even executed when tomcat is run as a service? according to the services applet in the control panel, the service runs tomcat.exe. Does this in turn call the startup script? Or do I need to pass the parameters using -jvm_option to tomcat.exe? As an aside, is there anything that can be done to optimize tomcat for execution on a multi-processor system? --Nathan McMinn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
