Answer 1

It seems to me that there is no way to use spaces in JAVA_OPTS, I have the same problem on OSX. You can add your property directly to other -D options in the catalina.sh file

Answer 2

I really figured this out with AWS Elasticbeanstalk, which allows you to have spaces in the environment properties that you can enter through the user interface.

, Elasticbeanstalk /usr/bin/tomcat 7 script, .

, :

script:

if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
    ${JAVACMD} $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \

script:

if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
    eval "${JAVACMD} $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
    ...."

.. "eval" JVM .

, JAVA_OPTS .
