[FIXED] How to pass jvm arguments to spring boot deploy in tomcat?

Issue

I use spring boot package to jar, and run java -jar xxx.jar --logging.config=xxx.xml.

Now i package to war and deploy in tomcat, how can i pass logging.config such arguments?

Solution

I think these articles could be usefull for you:

• https://www.middlewareinventory.com/blog/set-heapmemory-jvm-arguments-tomcat/
• https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/context.html

In a shorthand, there a two options. First one is to use tomcat global JAVA_OPTS:

• Use Setenv.sh file to set JVM arguments to Tomcat instance
• same as above, but using Catalina.sh

The example change is like:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Xss228k -XX:+UseParallelGC"

Verify your changes by executing ps -eaf|grep -i java command

Second one is to use Context from Tomcat. Please refer to the Context Parameters section of this document
