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 ```

Accepted Answer

You can set any of the system properties in

```
apache-tomcat-7.0.33\conf\catalina.properties
```

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

E.g.

```
environment=local
```
