Hi. I'm sorry for so kindly question - but needs experts advice...
We have a little dispute with my colleague about using this variables. So: have Windows-box machine. On it - runing few different Java-application, including Tomcat. Needs to set memory for Tomcat other, than for all other Java-applications. My proposal is set to System variables: JAVA_OPTS "-Xmx1024M -Xms512M -XX:MaxPermSize512M" CATALINA_OPTS "-Xmx4096M -Xms2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M" But, as he asserts - this is not correct way: - CATALINA_OPTS must NOT contain memory limits like "Xmx", "Xms" etc; - Java Garbage collector will work differently because JAVA_OPTS have another opts for memory then CATALINA_OPTS, so - this will worse Tomcat performance; - and so on His suggestion is to set JAVA_OPTS with memory limits exactly to Tomcat startup script (not as system variable at all). So, my question is: is it correct to set memory limits for Tomcat via CATALINA_OPTS variable? If in system also present JAVA_OPTS - will it have influence on to Tomcat's perfarmance? Thanks.
