JAVA_OPTS has changed to CATALINA_OPTS

XMLWordPrintable

      As of 5.6 when we implemented G1GC as the default, in setenv.sh/setenv.bat, the default environment variable for JVM parameters has changed to CATALINA_OPTS, instead of JAVA_OPTS.

      This has the potential to cause confusion for customers:

      • If both exist and specify different parameters, which will be effective?
      • Customers may change one and not the other, and expect their changes to be picked up. This can greatly increase troubleshooting time
      • Documentation may reference one or the other and customers may have difficulty implementing advised changes, and need to contact Support (friction)

      For Support:

      • We now have to update documentation to give different advice based on versions, eg here
      • Support engineers need to know that this changed, so we can advise customers of the correct method depending on their version
