Linux下Tomcat VM参数修改

不可行的方法

最初我直接修改catalina.sh, 将JAVA_OPTS变量加上了

-server -Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:+UserG1GC

最初看起来没啥问题，但是当服务器运行几天后，发现执行shutdown.sh无法关闭tomcat， 错误信息如下：

# root@iZ94hjppdqzZ:~/projects/taolijie# cat hs_err_pid5519.log 
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 1073741824 bytes for committing reserved memory.

# Possible solutions:

#   Increase physical memory or swap space
#   Check if swap backing store is full
#   Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
#   Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
#   Decrease number of Java threads
#   Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)

关闭个tomcat要请求1G的内存， 当时服务器就剩下200M内存，所以Out Of Memory了。查看shutdown.sh，发现它其实还是调用了catalina.sh，只是传入了一个stop参数。而catalina.sh是执行了

org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap stop

来向tomcat发送关闭信息的。由于上面我们设置了JAVA_OPTS使用1G的堆，因此执行该类时JVM会向系统申请1G多的内存，直接导致Out Of Memory。

可行的方法

在catalina.sh的第二行添加：

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -server -Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:+UseG1GC"

这些VM参数就会只应用到catalina而不是所有Tomcat进程。
