Howdy, There is one heap per JVM, period. It has nothing to do with tomcat or web applications. You can tune this heap extensively using the various java runtime options: http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/VMOptions.html
If it's an emergency and in production, just allocate more memory to the overall heap for now. But you should immediately start to profile your applications, identify any leaks, and fix them, all in a development environment.
