Allocate JVM settings per instance

[Alexander Diedler <ad...@tecracer.de>]

Hello,

I have a windows server 2003 with three instances of Tomcat (2x6.0.26 and
1x6.0.32). Every Tomcat has it own dir and the services was installed
through "/bin/service install [service-name]".

How can I change the JVM settings per instance? If I try to open the
tomcat6w.exe, I got not the instance, that the tomcat6w.exe currently
contains, instead of the first instance I have installed.

 

Greetings

Alexander Diedler

The "tomcat6w.exe" and "tomcat6.exe" programs are actually instances of the "Apache 
Commons Daemon" software.

The main project page, which explains very well the point of it, is here :

http://commons.apache.org/daemon/

The Windows version documentation is here :

http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html

and "tomcat6w.exe" is really a renamed version of "prunmgr".

In short :
if you have installed 3 instances of Tomcat as Windows services, you had to give them 3 
different "service names".
Supposing that one of them is "tomcatA", just invoke tomcat6w as follows :

c:\tomcatA\bin> tomcat6w.exe //ES//tomcatA
and it will show the Registry parameters corresponding to that instance.

Assuming you tried the command

<tomcat_home>\bin\tomcat6w

to edit service called my_service use

<tomcat_home>\bin\tomcat6w //ES//my_service
