the script given below worked for me, as a .bat file, where the environment variables were substituted with literal directory paths, on a win2k (professional) os (sp4), and jdk 1.4.2. note: the tomcat.exe file specified in the script below only gets copied to the /bin directory of Tomcat if specify during install to install Tomcat as a service. I copied this file into /bin directory from first install, then ran .bat file.
i am thankful for the help. -paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Koes, Derrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 2:26 PM Subject: RE: how-to specify Java runtime options -Xmx128m, w/ Tomcat 4 as Win2k service > > You must rebuild the service with the new options. > > "$CATALINA_HOME$\bin\tomcat.exe" -install "Apache Tomcat 4.1" > "$JAVA_HOME$\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" -Xmx512m -Xms256m > -Djava.class.path="$CATALINA_HOME$\bin\bootstrap.jar" > -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$CATALINA_HOME$\common\endorsed" > -Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME$" -start > org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params start -stop > org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -err > "$CATALINA_HOME$\logs\stderr.log" > > Replace $CATALINA_HOME$ and $JAVA_HOME$ with the appropriate values. > Change -Xmx and -Xms as appropriate. > We use instsrv with the REMOVE command to remove the old service before > running the above, or rename the service.
