Yes, thanks folks. It does appear to be some syntax validation Notepad++ is doing with .bat files. If you create a test.bat and add 1100 characters and save it, from the entire line would be selected in blue. If you put REM in front of the characters, then position 1025 and forward are in blue. Not sure the significant of it but that's what my testing turned out. At least there are no hard fast limits restricting jvm options to 1024 characters only, which is what I was hoping was the case.

The Tomcat 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer creates a shortcut to the GUI in the Windows start menu named "Configure Tomcat". The executable for the service manager GUI is located in the Tomcat bin directory and named Tomcat<version>w.exe. It is also included in the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows zip downloads. In addition, system properties may be set in catalina.properties which is located in the Tomcat conf directory. Hope that helps. -Terence Bandoian http://www.tmbsw.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
