In enhancement to Nick's script, I've cooked up some tricks you can add
to it to allow keeping your server.xml and java options in another
location (i.e. version control). Using Nick's script layout:
server.xml inclusion:
XMFILE=/some/path/to/server.xml
${TOMCAT_START} -config $XMFILE &
catalina options:
CATALINA_OPTS=""
while read option && [[ "$option" != end ]]
do
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS $option"
done < "/some/path/to/catalina.properties"
export CATALINA_OPTS
example catalina.properties:
-Djava.library.path=/opt/lib
-Djmagick.systemclassloader=no
-Djava.awt.headless=true
It's also handy to change the default jdk parameters for more efficient
behaviour:
JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms512m -Xmx512m"
export JAVA_OPTS
If your want to get some good debugging (i.e. looking for a memory leak
somewhere that's not getting garbage collected), use something like this:
JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms512m -Xmx512m -verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -Xloggc:/var/tmp/java_gc.log"
