David van Balen created ISPN-1749: ------------------------------------- Summary: log4j.configuration system property cannot be set Key: ISPN-1749 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1749 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Configuration Affects Versions: 5.1.0.CR4 Environment: Unix Reporter: David van Balen Assignee: Manik Surtani Although the startServer.sh script provides a way to specify custom system properties, via the JVM_PARAMS environment variable, it is not possible to specify a different log4j configuration file through the log4j.configuration system property because it will be overridden in functions.sh (see script snippet below, starting at line 154 of functions.sh). I think the portion of functions.sh that sets the location of the log4j configuration file should only execute if the user hasn't provided their own location. # Log4J config path needs path conversion in Cygwin if $CYGWIN; then LOG4J_CONFIG=`cygpath -w "${ISPN_HOME}/etc/log4j.xml"` else LOG4J_CONFIG=${ISPN_HOME}/etc/log4j.xml fi START_ARGS=( "${START_ARGS[@]}" "-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///$LOG4J_CONFIG" ) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
