How can I modify the heap size used by the internal Tomcat server?
You can do that by editing (setting the -Xm* paramater to CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS properties) the catalina.sh/bat startup scripts of the tomcat server. The scripts resides in $CATALINA_HOME/bin. For the internall (bundled) tomcat server they resides in {netbeans install dir}/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/bin. Do you think that the missing possibility to set startup properties for the tomcat server is a problem/bug for you?
I am probably mixing up the development world and the deployment world. Our application seems to require more heap than the default when it has been delivered. On my development PC I can probably live with the default, or change it by editing the catalina.sh/bat file, but I guess if I could have all that I want it could be set as an option in the ide. Also I guess based on the fact that I have used JRun in the past, and they have a place to change Java Arguments, it would be nice if Tomcat's Administration tool would allow those changes also. Is it true that in the Windows environment, that the service has to be re-installed to change the heap size?
There could be a possibility to set tomcat server startup paramaters in case when the server is started from the IDE.
