How to set JAVA properties in Tomcat 9?

How do I set Java properties in Tomcat 9? I believe that I used to be able to use tomcat.conf to set and load properties? Is this still the case?

Solution

  • You can set Java properties in Tomcat 9 by adding them to the JAVA_OPTS environment variable. For example, to set the java.util.logging.config.file property, you can add the following line to bin/setenv.sh (or bin/setenv.bat on Windows):

    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/path/to/logging.properties"
