The C-runtime routine used for processing the individual settings doesn't support quotes. You have to add the appropriate quotes in the wrapper.cmd_line setting. This has already been done in Tomcat 3.3.1. Unfortunately, the handling doesn't deal with substituting empty parameters. As a result, an "improvement" to this file in Tomcat 3.3.1 causes a problem. See:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.3.1/bin/win32/i386/> for details on dealing with this problem.
