How to set flags like --localInputDir in Myrrix war file?

Question

After reading the docs of Myrrix, I want to know how to set flags like:

java -jar myrrix-serving-x.y.jar --localInputDir /path/to/working/dir --port 8080

when deploying as a .war file. I wonder how to set these -- flags at Tomcat startup?

This is how equivalent arguments are set in a WAR context.

If you're deploying as a .war file and declaring your settings in `web.xml`, then you have access to all the standard container security mechanisms. You should use things like `` to configure security. This is what the embedded version is doing anyway. – Sean Owen Oct 16 '13 at 21:23
