title: Passing JVM arguments to Tomcat when running as a service?
body: <p>I need to pass a couple of JVM arguments to the JVM which Tomcat is running in so that my application can pick them up.</p>
  
  <p>I want to follow the process outlined <a href="http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0150.html">in this article to pick up environment</a> variables.</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about doing this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>
  Sorry This is running under windows (7 on my Dev machine 2003 on client server)</p>
