Hi Louis,
try the following format:
set
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.conf.file=%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\abc.efg"
In the above, %CATALINA_BASE% is a bariable that should be resolved by
Tomcat. If it is not, I made a mistake in the variable name, but I think
it should work (you could also try %catalina.base%).
You put this to setenv.bat in your bin directory. If the setenv.bat file
does not exist, create it. Note that you can also set your properties in
CATALINA_OPTS directly, i.e. you'd delete the line above in setenv.bat
and paste in:
set CATALINA_OPTS="-Dproperty1=value1 -Dproperty2=value2" etc. When you
start Tomcat, it should read all the properties in CATALINA_OPTS and
show you the properties at the beginning of the log.
Hope this helps.

Hi Daniel,
I apologize if maybe it is my lack of knowledge but I don't think I understand
the actual way to write the line 'Set Catalina_Opts =' in this management file
that I'm going to reference in the Java window/tabe in the Tomcat 7w GUI.
In my management.properties file (in the /CONF folder which is where also the
server.xml file sits) I have the following
com.sun.management.jmxremote
com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8008
com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
java.rmi.server.hostname=<host name>
How do I set these as my CATALINA_OPTS values? I have tried various 'SET
CATALINA_OPTS...' options but I can't seem to write it the correct way for
Windows. I have even tried to set the CATALINA_OPTS option, pointing to the
management.properties file in the Java tab in the Tomcat7w GUI but I get an
error that the Class can't be found so I must be writing it wrong.
Thanks for the continued assistance.
- Louis

Good catch!! I still had 'd' in front of my lines so once I removed those
JMX starts up using Management.properties file but as you mentioned it
doesn't really change the behavior at all and the Service still doesn't
stop cleanly. So is there a way to force the JMX to use CATALINA_OPTS in
this file. Something like SET CATALINA_OPTS = 'JMX settings'?
That is if the JMX running on CATALINA_OPTS is indeed the answer.
Basically, trying to mimic the setenv file that is not used by the Window
Service.

Hi Daniel, I tried your suggestion and while I think it is now
acknowledging the existence of the management.properties file
(Windows Service wouldn't start if I purposely misspelled
'managemenX.properties') but it doesn't seem to be actually working
(JMX can't connect).
What I did:
I created a copy of an existing logging.properties file already in
the CONF folder, renamed it management.properties, and removed all
contents of it and put in:
Just FYI, there is nothing magical about an existing properties file.
It's just a text file with name=value items in it.
Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8008
Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<my host machine IP address>
I don't think you want those leading D characters. Is that a
copy/paste error?
-Dcom.sun.management.config.file= C:\ <my folder
structure>\Tomcat\conf\management.properties
Daniel usually knows what he's talking about, but I'll be surprised if
Tomcat doesn't fail the same way after making these changes... you are
just moving the configuration from one place (multiple system
properties) to another (one system property pointing to another file
of properties).

As Christopher said, you this file management.properties can be named
whatever abc.efg would do the same and in that file you have
attribute=value pairs, everything that concerns the com.sun.management.xxx
properties. Then you pass the name of that file as a single option to the
JVM with -Dcom.sun.management.config.file=${catalina.base}/conf/abc.efg and
remove everything else from the CATALINA_OPTS which is in the configuration
file. I strongly suggest to locate this file in the same directory as the
server.xml file and use the ${catalina.base} variable asis and litterally
into the
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.conf.file=${catalina.base}/conf/abc.efg"
definition.
I skipped other configuration files for authentication, in my case I am
authenticating the users against the Active Directory database. So, the
informations I gave for the content of the configuration file is incomplete
and do not necessarily apply to your case, that's why I didn't bother to
put it in my original post. But, you may have to use extra properties for
you particular situation.
Why did I say to put everything in the configuration file for
com.sun.management.config.file? Because that way, the JVM knows these are
for JMX and knows the port is for JMX and will not run into a nonesense
when stopping the service saying the port is already in use. That's why you
should put this into the configuration file and define the property to tell
the JVM the pathname of the configuration file.
