Yes, thank you, Alex.
When I ask about a default value, by this I mean in server.xml there
should be toleration of a default value for the variable. E.g.
${tomcat.http.port:-8080}, where 8080 is used if tomcat.http.port is
not set.
This is useful because it allows easy parameter override, but with
sensible default value. This way, users who do not need to customize
are not burdened with having to type, and possibly mistake, all the
-DadditionalSystemProperties=-Dtomcat.http.port=8080 configuration
values.
