Add JVM options in Tomcat

Question

How can I add jvm(Java virtual machine) options in Apache Tomcat 6?

Is there a administration console in tomcat? I tried http://localhost:8080/admin but I could not get anything out of it.

I want to add the following jvm options:

-agentpath:C:\calltracer\jvmti\calltracer5.dll=traceFile-C:\calltracer\call.trace,filterFile-C:\calltracer\filters.txt,outputType-xml,usage-uncontrolled -Djava.library.path=C:\calltracer\jvmti -Dcalltracerlib=calltracer5

As Bhavik Shah says, you can do it in JAVA_OPTS, but the recommended way (as per catalina.sh) is to use CATALINA_OPTS:

#   CATALINA_OPTS   (Optional) Java runtime options used when the "start", #                   "run" or "debug" command is executed. #                   Include here and not in JAVA_OPTS all options, that should #                   only be used by Tomcat itself, not by the stop process, #                   the version command etc. #                   Examples are heap size, GC logging, JMX ports etc.  #   JAVA_OPTS       (Optional) Java runtime options used when any command #                   is executed. #                   Include here and not in CATALINA_OPTS all options, that #                   should be used by Tomcat and also by the stop process, #                   the version command etc. #                   Most options should go into CATALINA_OPTS.
