Before Deployment to a Java Web Application Server

It is recommended that you change the heapsize and maximum perm size settings of your Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to:

-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

For example, Tomcat uses the JAVA_OPTS environment variable to configure its JVM:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

See your JVM documentation for more information about changing your Java memory settings.

Before you begin the deployment process, ensure that the web application server is running correctly by launching its administrative console at:

http://<WAS_HOSTNAME>:<PortNumber>

Replace <WAS_HOSTNAME> with the hostname or IP address of your web application server, and <PortNumber> with the port number, if required.
