Look at the methods in java.lang.Runtime
long maxMemory() long freeMemory() and long totalMemory()

You could insert these lines in any init method.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("Maximum memory available is " + rt.maxMemory() );

1. Exactly where are you changing JAVA_OPTS?
2. How do you start Tomcat?
3. What is it currently reporting as maxMemory()?

Always reports something like this (only 'Free memory' changes)
I set JAVA_OPTS enviroment variable to -Xms256m -Xmx256m. I also made a program to print the max memory and started it by prompt with the following command java test -Xmx256m -Xms256m and the max memory does not change.

Max memory: 134.217.728
Free memory: 21.686.320
Total memory: 63.979.520

If you start Tomcat with the provided batch files, then try altering JAVA_OPTS in the batch file, not as a (system) environment variable. If you've installed as a service, then there are ways of altering this as well, but it involves hacking the registry (I think).

Also, just for the heck of it... you are sure that 256MB is *available* on your server to be allocated?

Installed as a service! Thats the problem. As a service it does NOT see your environment variables that you set as a user.

This discussion - right at the bottom of the page. tells how somebody solved the problem with a very similar setup.

Hello folks,
I just wanted to ask confirm about passing params as Xms to tomcat while it is running as a service. Here is what I found:


For Tomcat on NT as a service, you can set the -Xms and -Xmx in the
registry. Its HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\CurrentControlSet\<Name
of
Service>\Configuration. You can add new JVM Option Number X (and
make sure
to increment the JVM Option Count key) to contain the additional
parameters.



Tomcat as service

I wanted to ask you guys, in case I have

and I don't increase it, but add a new (5.th JVM option) in the registry will it just be ignored??? And the order of the options passed to the JVM odes not matter?
Any help will be appreciated.
