Environment variables are *not* system properties. Indeed, system
properties would not be a good choice for things like this, because they
are global to an entire Tomcat installation, while environment variables
are specific to a webapp.

How are you trying to retrieve this value? You should be doing something
like:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
String value = (String) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/indemand.env");
