HOW to Pass parameters to tomcat in ubuntu?

Question

I am trying to configure cruisecontrol to use Tomcat rather then Jetty servlet engine. I am following a tutorial on this and I am stuck on where it says:

Pass startup parameter to tomcat.

-Ddashboard.config=/home/cruisecontrol/work/dashboard-config.xml

Where do I put this in which file in tomact is it the startup.sh in tomcat directory?

The tutorials are here

Answer 1

This probably needs to go in the JAVA_OPTS variable, in the catalina.sh file.

Answer 2

You have to have config.xml with every appserver like tomcat and weblogic. You can pass the startup parameters as mentioned there in config.xml of tomcat server.
