Upgrade Tomcat 7 to 64 bit JVM

I have Tomcat 7 installed on a 64 bit CentOS system (I installed Tomcat 7 by downloading the apache-tomcat-7.0.xx.tar.gz file from the Apache Tomcat downloads site under "Core" and simply unzipping that on my CentOS box, not as a Unix deamon as described in the Tomcat setup documentation here.) Prior to installing Tomcat the 32 bit JVM was installed on the machine.

My question is this: I want to install and use the 64 bit JVM on this machine for Tomcat to use instead of the 32 bit JVM. Do I need to do anything other than set JAVA_HOME to point to the new JVM? Are there any other Tomcat considerations that I need to take into account relating to the change in JVMs?

You may need to tweak some of the memory settings to increase -Xmx and/or -XX:MaxPermSize but apart from that it should Just Work (TM).
