tomcat jvm options

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for a list of the common JVM options, specially for the apache tomcat container.

Thank you, best regards Alex

Answer 1

The most common options are the ones set the memory size of the JVM - There are so many factors that influence tuning this that there is no one size fits all.

For that start with the default settings and then benchmark. You might want to ask some more specific questions ?

Here are the official sites for JVM and Tomcat configurations.

Tomcat Config options http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/index.html
