AS 3-6 and EAP 4 and 5 had a -c option, should it be brought forward -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-2015 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2015 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Jim Tyrrell Cut and pasted from an email: -c -- anyone interested, let's have a debate. In AS7 -c foo.xml would be a shorthand for --server-config=foo.xml I don't like that because: a) It's only a rough translation of what -c meant in AS < 7. People would have to read docs to figure out how to use it, so is there much benefit? b) There's no clean equivalent for domain.sh. It could be a shorthand for --domain-config=foo.xml but it could also be a shorthand for --host-config=foo.xml. So which? (I could be convinced to support -c=foo.xml as a shorthand for -server-config=foo.xml and --domain-config=foo.xml if I feel people understand the issues and still want it. I've had conversations with people about it before, but they've gotten sidetracked when other things came up. And I could be much more easily be convinced by a nice patch.) So does -c become -dc and -hc then? I think this also dovetails into a discussion about how do I clone an instance and start it up 3 or 4 times on a IP address. Customers have done this for sure, and I do this in labs/cookbooks?
