It's normal to be forced to double the heap on migrating from x32 to x64 hw.
Just think to the pointer addressing , that is based on a 64bit
representation of the memory address, rrather than a 32bit.
By the way, how did you install it as a service?
Did you find a Windows installer?
I tryed to execute the 'service.bat install' of Tomcat 6.0.24, but doesn't
run.
Please could you help me?
Thanks
Domenico

Subject: Re: max heap size on Windows server 64 bit
On any 64-bit OS, more than 2G is fine. I know several places running
dedicated application servers with 16G RAM and 12G Java heaps.
Where have you read about the 2G recommendation? I want to send them an
email... :-).

Hi,
we are running tomcat 6.20 on windows server 2003 64bit with java 1.6
(64bit) as a Windows service.
Everything works fine but I have to increase max. heap size to 4 GB (now
2
GB).
Machine has abaout 8 GB ram.
I know, how to do this - but I read, that it is not recommanded to
configure more than 2 GB???
Is it true or is it depending on operating system?
Thanx and regards
Wolfgang
