Memory for deployed App in Tomcat

Question

I need to bring some light to my question. The question is : is there any way to influence how much heap memory Tomcat allocates for particular deployed application ? In more details - how can I set specific java options for deployed application (consider I want to have special GC settins, special mem-ration settings and so on and so forth per Application) ?

P.S.: One more question - where can I find information about how Application Servers execute deployed applications and how they do memory management ? Tried to look through but had no success (only common info available - such as dev guide, user guide, admin guide, but non of there contain info I do demand).

Thanks !

Answer 1

I believe Heap Memory can't be set for any specific application in Tomcat.
