1. Overview

System properties are configured with the -D option for the JVM. Since JEUS uses Launch JVM to start the server JVM, system properties must be set in each server configuration of domain.xml.

The following is an example of a system property configuration.

<domain>
    <servers>
        <server>
            <name>server1</name>
            <jvm-config>
                <jvm-option>-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=250m</jvm-option>
            </jvm-config>
        ...

  1. The properties set in the domain admin server or server script are only applicable when using Launch JVM.

  2. System properties must be carefully set because they affect the overall operation of JEUS and all applications. It is recommended to use the XML settings instead of the system properties.
