I find myself continually having to delete my Tomcat 7 server in STS Eclipse

  • 0

I find myself continually having to delete my Tomcat 7 server in STS Eclipse and re-installing.

Each time I have to then:
a) increase start up time from 45 sec and
b) increase Tomcat memory by adding something like this on the “VM Arguments” under the “Arguments” tab: “-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:PermSize=512m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit”

How do you change defaults for a) and b)? Google has plenty of info on changing these one time, but I want to change the defaults for a “new”, and on this the search is coming up a blank.

Thanks

    Create either bin/setenv.sh (for Unix) or bin/setenv.bat (for Windows) and add all your -XX options there. This file is not present by default in Tomcat but if you create one, it will be picked up by startup script.

    Whenever you reinstall Tomcat, just back this file up and copy it back.
