WildFly JVM Settings

Internal

• WildFly

Overview

JVM settings can be declared in various server configuration files, as shown below. In domain mode, these settings propagate to server node JVMs; the process controller and host controller JVM settings are declared in domain.conf.

Configuration

Standalone Mode

Modify standalone.conf as follows:

    ...
    JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1000m -Xmx2000m -XX:MetaspaceSize=256m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m ..."
    ...

Even if standalone*.xml allows for a <jvm> element, it seems it is not honored when specified. More research is needed on this.

Domain Mode

domain.xml

<domain ...>
    ...
    <server-groups>
        <server-group name="...">
            <jvm java-home="..." 
                    type="SUN|IBM" 
                    env-classpath-ignored="true"
                    debug-enabled="false"
                    debug-options="...">
                <heap size="" max-size=""/>
                <permgen>...</permgen>
                <stack>...</stack>
                <agent-lib>...</agent-lib>
                <agent-path>...</agent-path>
                <java-agent>...</java-agent>
                <jvm-options>
                    <option name="...">....</option>
                     ...
                </jvm-options>
                <environment-variables>...</environment-variables>
                <launch-command>...</launch-command>
            </jvm>
        </server-group>
    </server-groups>
    ...
</server>

Example:

<jvm>
    <heap size="1000m" max-size="2000m"/>
    <jvm-options>
        <option value="-server"/>
        <option value="-XX:MetaspaceSize=256m"/>
        <option value="-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m"/>
    </jvm-options>
</jvm>

host.xml

host.xml allows "named" <jvm> declarations.

<host ..>
    ...
    <jvms>
        <jvm name="jvm-a" ...>
        </jvm name="jvm-b" ...>
        ...
    </jvms>
    ...
</host>
