To configure the Apache Tomcat Memory Settings, follow these steps:
  1. Locate the catalina.sh file that resides in the <CATALINA_HOME>/bin directory.
  2. Edit this file for customizing the memory settings and garbage collector settings depending on the available hardware configuration.
  3. Add the memory setting for Java Heap to -Xms512m -Xmx1024m. For example:
    if [ -z "$LOGGING_MANAGER" ]; then JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms512m -
    Xmx1024m
    -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager" else
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms512m -Xmx1024m $LOGGING_MANAGER"
