Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Administration I

The Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) server and the deployed applications execute within a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). You can tune the JVM for optimal performance by configuring a number of command-line options that are used to start the JVM processes.

Configure the JVM options for a JBoss EAP standalone server in the $JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.conf file.

JBoss EAP defines the <jvm> tag to use in the configuration files in the managed domain mode.

Configure the JVM options for a JBoss EAP managed domain at three different levels:

JVM options at the lower levels override the settings inherited from the higher levels. The servers can override the options inherited from the server groups and the host controllers, and the server groups can override options inherited from the host controllers.
