[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2494) Unable to put all configuration and logs outside AS7 distribution

Unable to put all configuration and logs outside AS7 distribution ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-2494 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2494 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Scripts Reporter: Rostislav Svoboda Assignee: James Perkins Fix For: 7.1.0.Final I'm not able to configure AS7 to use all configuration files from different location than standard $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration or $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration. I'm using system properties described on confluence [1]. The same for log files. AS7 always requires logging.properties from $JBOSS_HOME and it writes boot.log into directories under $JBOSS_HOME depending whether standalone or domain is running. The root of this problem is in scripts: standalone.sh/.bat {code} -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/boot.log -Dlogging.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/logging.properties {code} domain.sh/.bat {code} -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_HOME/domain/log/process-controller/boot.log -Dlogging.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/logging.properties -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_HOME/domain/log/host-controller/boot.log -Dlogging.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/logging.properties {code} My idea: Introduce LOG_PATH + CONFIGURATION_PATH properties (similar to MODULEPATH property) in .sh/.bat files to have logs and configuration outside AS7/EAP6. Default LOG_PATH by default would be $JBOSS_HOME/domain/log or $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log. Default CONFIGURATION_PATH would be $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration or $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration. Definitions of -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file= and -Dlogging.configuration= would be changed to use LOG_PATH + CONFIGURATION_PATH properties. Changes for server instances can be modified using system properties -- jboss.server.log.dir + jboss.server.config.dir OR jboss.domain.log.dir + jboss.domain.config.dir + jboss.domain.servers.dir.
