No.

You need to set a JVM startup parameter. This parameter is
JVM-dependent, but most JVMs use parameters of the form:

- -Xms<size>    initial heap size
- -Xmx<size>    max heap size

Note that <size> can be something like "512m" to specify that you'd like
516 megabytes of heap space.

If you run Tomcat from the command-line, you can set the JAVA_OPTS
environment variable in order to set the JVM parameters before running
catalina.bat/catalina.sh. If you use a Microsoft Windows service, you'll
need to use the service editor to set the parameters. This page might
help if you are running on Microsoft Windows:
