java override runtime setting??

[kirrran kir]

Hi

Any help is appreciated.

is it possible to override the switches provided to the jvm programmatically?
Eg., if jvm is started like this

java -Xms64m myprog, then is it possible to set the "Xms" value inside my java program during run-time.

thanks

No, not in general. Switches like -Xmx set up the structure of the Java heap, which is already initialized and operating by the time your code gets control.
