Question

I recently downloaded the latest Java 1.6 JDK. I\'m using VisualVM which came with the SDK to test/monitor my webapp (using Tomcat server) on my local pc. I\'m running Windo

Answer 1

You can use the JAVA_OPTS environment variable for dealing with java heap size. This variable can be added as a environment variable as well as you can define a configuration line in the startup.bat file.

Add the following line in the startup.bat file.

set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m

You can add this as environment variable as said.
