Implement a convenient way to pass system properties to managed container's JVM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-647 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-647 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Configuration Affects Versions: 1.0.0.CR5 Reporter: Ondrej Zizka Assignee: Andrew Rubinger Priority: Critical Currently, the only way to pass system props to a container (say, JBoss AS 7), is to use {code} <property name="javaVmArguments">-Dfoo=bar</property> {code} It would be great if system properties could be specified in a special way, like: * by loading a .properties file and setting them in JVM * from a deployment * from a path * from an URL * by a special config elements * by taking them all from the launching JVM; possibly only those with a given prefix Here's how I'd imagine it. Params in [] are optional, with default values. {code} <arquillian xmlns="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd"> <container qualifier="jboss" default="true"> <configuration> <property name="jbossHome">target/smoke</property> <property name="javaVmArguments">${server.jvm.args}</property> <property name="serverConfig">${server.config:standalone.xml}</property> <property name="allowConnectingToRunningServer">true</property> <systemProperties> <copyCurrent [prefix="arq."]/> <loadFromDeployment [path="META-INF/arq.system.properties"] [optional="false"]> <loadFromFile path="../testsuite/my.properties" [optional="false"]> <loadFromUrl url="http://foo.redhat.com/foo.properties" [optional="true"]> <property name="jbossas.ts.integ.dir">${fooBar}</property> </systemProperties> </configuration> </container> </arquillian> {code}
