apache - Tomcat 7 - where do I set 'system properties'?

Question

My webapp is having an issue since upgrading to Tomcat 7. My session will go null after I login and try to do anything (submitting a request). I've read that setting the following may help:

org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.FWD_SLASH_IS_SEPARATOR=false

Does anyone know where to set this? Should this be set in web.xml, context.xml or somewhere else?

The other thing I want to check is the following:

org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE

Answer 1

You can set any of the system properties in

apache-tomcat-7.0.33confcatalina.properties

file. Adding your entry in this file should resolve your problem.

E.g.

environment=local
