JAVA_OPTS is going to be used for shutdown script as well, not just startup. CATALINA_OPTS is going to be used for startup script only. I prefer setenv.sh route, because it provides clear separation of the product and configuration customizations. This is really handy when you do upgrades! Hope that helps! Cheers n.
