Tomcat uses java startup flags to set memory configuration. You'll want to set your JAVA_OPTS environment variable to include -Xmx512m ( or however much heap space you think you'll need ).

export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512m"

If you get PermGen memory exceptions you may need to also set MaxPermSize:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"

The normal catalina startup scripts will incorporate the JAVA_OPTS environment variable into their normal startup process.
