Nate Take a look at the following site. It gives you a feeler of how to do it. Once you run the batch file, it updates the Win2000 registry entries for you. From there you can play with it.
http://www.mattkelli.com/tech/tomcat/ntservice.htm When you follow the instructions, and run the batch file, you would see something like this in windows registry under SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Apache-Catalina/Parameters JVM Option Number Check what has been set up under that.

Really my question just pertains to the proper method of passing jvm startup parameters when tomcat is configured to run as a service.
