Migrating from GlassFish to Tomcat 7
I have a GWT application which currently is running on GlassFish 3.x. I
want to migrate to Tomcat 7. Previously, I would store properties that the
GWT application could retrieve by
org.apache.commons.configuration.SystemConfiguration. I would put these
settings in my domain.xml for GlassFish. What is the Tomcat equivalent? I
tried putting settings under my WEB-INF\web.xml file as
context-paramsection. However, my GWT application cannot see them
still.
Where should I put settings that can be read by calling
org.apache.commons.configuration.SystemConfiguration from my GWT app from
Tomcat?

+1 catalina.properties is great for simple things, and it's more portable.
One, not so common reason you might want to use setenv.sh is if you want to do something dynamic. Since setenv.sh is a shell script, you could dynamically capture some value and store it in a system property.
Contrived Ex:
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dhostname=`hostname`"

If you use setenv.sh, then those system properties will only be
available if you use the Tomcat scripts to launch. If you use jsvc or
the Microsoft Windows Service Wrapper, they will not be available.
Using catalina.properties should allow you to set system properties
that will be loaded regardless of how you launch Tomcat.

What is the advantage to using catalina.properties vs setenv.sh?

Properties that are used by a web application (and not by Java itself
during its startup) can also be added to conf/catalina.properties
file.

Looks like this class is loading items from system properties.

Based on that, you'd want to add system properties in "$CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh". Note this file doesn't exist by default, you'll need to create it.
Ex:
CATALINA_OPTs="-Dmy.property.1=xyz -Dmy.property.2=abc"
