Question

Where can i find the "org.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES" system property of tomcat and how to change it's value?

Answer 1

The property org.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES is not defined in the out of the box script/config files (it's false by default see https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#Security)

There's a few ways to add a system property definition to the tomcat start-up parameters (see also Tomcat 7 - where do I set 'system properties'?).

I'd recommend the setenv.bat|sh approach - create the file in TOMCAT_HOME/bin if not there already.

Example setenv.bat:

@echo off
set "CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dorg.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES=true"

Example setenv.sh:

#!/bin/sh
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES=true"
