Current status: I replaced keystorePass=<password> with 'keystorePass="${kspassword}"' in server.xml, and executed the command "tomcat7 //TS//Tomcat7 --JvmOptions=-Dkspassword=<password>" and have been able to start the SSL listener as a console application.
However, I have not been able to do the same thing with the service, using "sc start Tomcat7 "--JvmOptions=-Dkspassword=<password>", or putting the parameter into the properties of the service entry in Windows Services Manager. I know Charles Caldarale said it could not be done with a service, but it is possible to pass parameters to a service, both using the Windows Services Manager, and via the sc command line utility. I am just not sure what syntax Tomcat is expecting for parameters; I would think it would match the syntax of the tomcat command above, since that is basically what is being called, just with different parameters.
