I am trying to run Tomcat 7 as a Windows Service (XP and Windows 7).

I see places to set the -Xmx and -Xms jvm args in catalina.bat, but I\'m not sure how to do it w

Answer 1

If you are running a custom named service, you should see two executables in your Tomcat/bin directory
In my case with Tomcat 8

08/14/2019  10:24 PM           116,648 Tomcat-Custom.exe
08/14/2019  10:24 PM           119,720 Tomcat-Customw.exe
               2 File(s)        236,368 bytes

Running the "w" terminated executable will let you configure Xmx in the Java tab
