How to set the AJP packet size in Tomcat?

Question

I've followed the instructions here for setting the maxPacketSize in AJP...

AJP connector doc

It states in the doc that I need to "you must also change the packetSize attribute of your AJP connector on the Tomcat side! The attribute packetSize is only available in Tomcat 5.5.20+ and 6.0.2+."

I have no idea how to change it though!

This doc talks about changing it in Tomcat, but I can't find out WHERE I actually need to change it (what properties file/config file etc)

Tomcat AJP Connector

Can anyone give me a clue please?

Thanks!
