Pass VM Argument to Apache Tomcat [duplicate]

Answer 1

Go to $CATALINA_HOME and edit setenv.sh file by adding the parameters with the value. If you want to mass multiple parameters, separate them using space

E.g.

cd /opt/tomcat/bin/ 
sudo nano setenv.sh 

edit the line

CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS}" 

to

CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -Dparam=value -Dparam2=value2" 

restart tomcat:

service tomcat restart

you should now be able to see the arguments passed to tomcat when you run:

ps aux | grep tomcat
