You should not be editing the registry in Windows; use the tomcat6w.exe program to manipulate the various JVM parameters when running Tomcat as a Windows service. > From what I have read on the internet to do the same > on a Linux system I need to add the following line to > my ../tomcat/bin/catalina.sh fle? > JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx768m Also incorrect, but that's a widely-held belief (as evidenced by the answer from zhaoxueqing). What you should actually do is create a setenv.sh script in Tomcat's bin directory that establishes any environment variables you need, including JAVA_OPTS (CATALINA_OPTS is actually preferable here). The Tomcat startup scripts automatically call setenv.sh if it exists; this avoids having to modify Tomcat-supplied scripts. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
