Lax Files - Java Max Heap Configuration

$
0
0
Hello there,

In most of our installations we use the following parameter to specify the max heap size:

Code:

#  LAX.NL.JAVA.OPTION.JAVA.HEAP.SIZE.MAX
#  -------------------------------------
#  the maximum heap size for the Java VM
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=1024m

It has some strange behavior if it comes to higher values, following are some examples:

Works fine:
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=1024m
cmd: "…\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xms10485760 -Xmx1073741824 -classpath …
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=2047m
cmd: "…\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xms10485760 -Xmx2146435072 -classpath …

wrong behavior - passing on NO value:
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=2048m (and ongoing till 4096m)
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=4g
cmd: "…\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xms10485760 -classpath …

wrong behavior - passing on wrong values:
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=4097m
cmd: "…\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xms10485760 -Xmx1048576 -classpath… ongoing values passing on the value minus 4GB
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=4296015872
cmd: "…\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xms10485760 -Xmx2147483647 -classpath…all values over 2GB passing on 2GB

The following parameter has no problems with any of the above.
Code:

#  LAX.NL.JAVA.OPTION.ADDITIONAL
#  -----------------------------
#  Behebt eventuelle Probleme mit der 3D-Darstellung und PC-Anywhere

lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Xmx4g

Why is there a interpretation of the given value and not a simple passing through?
Does the first parameter have any benefits or should we generally use the additional parameter?

Edit: Tested on a 64Bit machine with an pure 64Bit Windows Installer (also tested with 64Bit and 32Bit installer ... but there are obvious other limitations)

Greetings
