For tomcat you can define JAVA_OPTS system variable to supply additional parameters for the java machine. That includes the possibility to define -Dyour.property=
See the comments at the begin of catalina.bat or catalina.sh. You can either modify catalina.bat/.sh or whatever bat file that is used to start tomcat. If you running Tomcat as a service (under Windows), the JVM options are specified through the configuration dialog (on the Java tab of it). If you running Tomcat from an IDE, there are IDE-specific ways to customize launching configuration and supply those options to java. Of course, these settings are global for the tomcat instance. There does not exist any way to specify different system property values for different web applications. Other tricks include modifying/updating system properties values on the fly. As far as SecurityManager allows you to do that (IMHO, it should not).
