Nate,
When installing Tomcat as a service, you can specify extra options to the
JVM using the 'jvm_option' flag. catalina.bat isn't used for this, as you
rightly suspect.
Try using tomcat.exe to uninstall the service, and then reinstalling it with
your extra JVM options specified - hopefully that'll get you the extra
memory you need.
tomcat.exe options are as follows:
C:\tomcat-4.0.6\bin>tomcat.exe -help
To install a service:
-install service_name jvm_library (jvm_option)*
-start start_class [-method start_method] [-params
(start_parameter)+]
[-stop start_class [-method stop_method] [-params
(stop_parameter)+]]
[-out out_log_file] [-err err_log_file]
[-current current_dir]
[-path extra_path]
To uninstall a service:
-uninstall service_name
service_name: The name of the service.
jvm_library: The location of the JVM DLL under which to run the service.
jvm_option: An option to use when starting the JVM, such as:
"-Djava.class.path=c:\classes" or "-Xmx128m".
start_class: The class to load when starting the service.
start_method: The method to call in the start_class. default: main
start_parameter:A parameter to pass in to the start_method.
stop_class: The class to load when stopping the service.
stop_method: The method to call in the stop_class. default: main
stop_parameter: A parameter to pass in to the stop_method.
out_log_file: A file to redirect System.out into.
err_log_file: A file to redirect System.err into.
current_dir: The current working directory for the service.
Relative paths will be relative to this directory.
extra_path: Path additions, for native DLLs etc.
HTH,
Dan.
