Windows Menu Startup and JAVA_OPTS
Folks,
Tomcat 4.0.6 on Windows 2000 - we were running out of memory, so I
added a "-Xms256m" to the JAVA_OPTS environment variable. However,
it didn't seem to make any difference.
Now, would I be right in saying that if Tomcat is started from the
Windows desktop menu ie.
Programs->Apache4.0->Start Tomcat
then JAVA_OPTS is not used? The menu seems to run something
like "java -jar /Program Files/Apache4.0/bin/bootstrap.jar start" which as
far as I can see doesn't pass the JAVA_OPTS to the JVM.
Cheers,
Chris

RE: Windows Menu Startup and JAVA_OPTS
Posted by John Corrigan <jo...@johncorrigan.net>.
If the menu runs that, then it is unlikely that the environment variables
are seen. The current version of Java doesn't have any non-deprecated
methods for accessing OS environment variables. You could edit the .pif
file used to start Tomcat and add the -Xms switch to the command.
BTW, does Auto Trader use Tomcat for production?
