Adding -javaagent to Tomcat 6 server, where do I put it and in what format?

Viewed 34609

I´m trying to install an application health monitoring application that can monitor J2EE web transactions and I need to put a javaagent into my Tomcat somehow but am not clear on exactly how to do this, I am using Linux and have been instructed by the software company that makes this product to do something like below:

-javaagent:<Path to the WebTransactionAgent.jar>

I have received further support from them and they basically said to put this into the appropriate .sh file (but they weren´t able to tell me which file that is for Tomcat)

I tried putting this in the catalina.sh file but it does not seem to be working:

JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -javaagent:"C:\WebTransactionAgent.jar"

Any advice is appreciated
