With this patch, you would not be able to run Tomcat *without* HotSpot as
long as it existed -- which would often be useful in a debugging
situation.
You can tell Tomcat to start with this variable, without modifying the
startup scripts, by setting TOMCAT_OPTS (Tomcat 3.x) or CATALINA_OPTS
(Tomcat 4.x) to the set of options you want to pass to the JVM. For
instance, you can run with the -server switch and set max heap size to 128
megabytes with:
CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xmx=128m"
or
TOMCAT_OPTS="-server -Xmx=128m"
