You can set system properties in Tomcat by creating a setenv.sh file in /bin directory. I did the following to set the system properties.

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dmyprojectvar.subname=value -Danothervariable=value -Danother.variable=value"

Remember:

There is no space between the export JAVA_OPTS and =. Also: the symbol & is different, use ..

Now, run your catalina.sh to start tomcat.
