java 增加内存,如何永久增加java堆内存？

I have one problem with java heap memory. I developed one client server application in java which is run as a windows service it requires more than 512MB of memory. I have 2GB of RAM but when I run my application it throws an exception

Out of memory error:java heap space

but I have already set heap size (maximum 512MB) in the java control panel and I still get the same error. I can't set heap size through the command line because my application runs as a windows service so how can I increase the default heap size?

Please note that increasing the Java heap size following an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space is quite often just a short term solution.

This means that even if you increase the default Java heap size from 512 MB to let's say 2048 MB, you may still get this error at some point if you are dealing with a memory leak. The main question to ask is why are you getting this OOM error at the first place? Is it really a Xmx value too low or just a symptom of another problem?

When developing a Java application, it is always crucial to understand its static and dynamic memory footprint requirement early on, this will help prevent complex OOM problems later on. Proper sizing of JVM Xms & Xmx settings can be achieved via proper application profiling and load testing.
