  <p>The follow sections list the system properties that may be set to modify
  the default Tomcat behaviour.</p>
</section>



<section name="Jasper">
  <properties>

	<property name="org.apache.jasper.compiler. Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING">
	  <p>If <code>false</code> the requirements for escaping quotes in JSP
      attributes will be relaxed so that a missing required quote will not
      cause an error. If not specified, the specification compliant default of
      <code>true</code> will be used.</p>
    </property>

    <property name="org.apache.jasper.runtime. BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER">
      <p>If <code>true</code>, any tag buffer that expands beyond
      <code>org.apache.jasper.Constants.DEFAULT_TAG_BUFFER_SIZE</code> will be
      destroyed and a new buffer created of the default size. If not specified,
      the default value of <code>false</code> will be used.</p>
    </property>

    <property name="org.apache.jasper.runtime. JspFactoryImpl.USE_POOL">
      <p>If <code>true</code>, a ThreadLocal <code>PageContext</code> pool will
      be used. If not specified, the default value of <code>true</code> will be
      used.</p>
    </property>

  </properties>

</section>


<section name="Security">

  <properties>

    <property
    name="org.apache.catalina.connector. CoyoteAdapter.ALLOW_BACKSLASH">
      <p>If this is <code>true</code> the '\' character will be permitted as a
      path delimiter. If not specified, the default value of <code>false</code>
      will be used.</p>
    </property>

    <property
    name="org.apache.tomcat.util.buf. UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH">
      <p>If this is <code>true</code> '%2F' and '%5C' will be permitted as path
      delimiters. If not specified, the default value of <code>false</code> will
      be used.</p>
    </property>

    <property
    name="org.apache.coyote. USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER"><p>If this is
      <code>true</code> custom HTTP status messages will be used within HTTP
      headers. Users must ensure that any such message is ISO-8859-1 encoded,
      particularly if user provided input is included in the message, to prevent
      a possible XSS vulnerability. If not specified the default value of
      <code>false</code> will be used.</p>
    </property>
  </properties>

</section>


<section name="Specification">

  <properties>

    <property name="org.apache.catalina. STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE">
      <p>If this is <code>true</code> the following actions will occur:
      <ul>
        <li>any wrapped request or response object passed to an application
          dispatcher will be checked to ensure that it has wrapped the original
          request or response. (SRV.8.2 / SRV.14.2.5.1)
        </li>
        <li>when updating the access count for the session, the update will be
          synchronized.
        </li>
        <li>
          cookies will be parsed strictly, by default v0 cookies will not work
          with any invalid characters.<br/>If set to false, any v0 cookie with
          invalid character will be switched to a v1 cookie and the value will
          be quoted.
        </li>
      </ul>
      </p>
    </property>

    <property
    name="org.apache.tomcat.util.http. ServerCookie.ALWAYS_ADD_EXPIRES">
      <p>If this is <code>true</code> Tomcat will always add an expires
      parameter to a SetCookie header even for cookies with version greater than
      zero. This is to work around a known IE6 and IE7 bug that causes IE to
      ignore the Max-Age parameter in a SetCookie header. If not specified, the
      default value of <code>true</code> will be used.</p>
    </property>

    <property name="org.apache.catalina.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME">
      <p>An alternative name for the session cookie. Defaults to
      <code>JSESSIONID</code>. Note that the Servlet specification requires

      change this.</p>
    </property>

    <property name="org.apache.catalina.SESSION_PARAMETER_NAME">

      <p>There have been some issues reported with log4j when this option is
