[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-6725) quotes around JAVA_OPTS in run.bat

quotes around JAVA_OPTS in run.bat ---------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6725 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6725 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.1.GA, JBossAS-5.1.0.Beta1 Environment: Windows XP and JDK 6 Reporter: David Croft Assignee: Mladen Turk In JBoss 4.2.3, I was able to prepend to run.bat a JAVA_OPTS option with a pipe symbol (|) by escaping it using quote marks. Example: set JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|*.ldms.ibm.com" In JBoss 5.0.1.GA and 5.1.0.Beta1, the run.bat script has been modified slightly so that this is no longer possible. This modification was to wrap JAVA_OPTS with quote marks which will not parse if JAVA_OPTS already has quote marks as in the above example. There are two places where this occurs. Here is the first place: if "x%JAVA_OPTS%" == "x" ( set "JAVA_OPTS=-Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%" ) else ( set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%" ) The first place where it occurs can be fixed by reverting to the version 4.2.3 run.bat code without quote marks: set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME% The second place it occurs is as follows: if not errorlevel == 1 ( set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server" ) This second place can be fixed by removing the quote marks: if not errorlevel == 1 ( set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server )
