ugly style allowing to start multiple servers refer to the same server-config file ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-1255 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1255 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Server Reporter: Jay Wu Assignee: Jason Greene {color:red} WildFly allows to start multiple servers refer to the same server-config as following {color} {noformat} standalone.bat -server-config=standalone.xml -Djboss.node.name=node1 {noformat} {noformat} standalone.bat -server-config=standalone.xml -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100 -Djboss.node.name=node2 {noformat} {noformat} standalone.bat -server-config=standalone.xml -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=200 -Djboss.node.name=node3 {noformat} {color:red} the three nodes do not share the modification， but the later will overwrite the former in the standalone.xml. {color} {quote} for example (1) create datasource "ds4node1" to node1 which created above. and ds4node1 is written into standalone.xml. ↓ (2) careate datasource "ds4node2" to node2 and ds4node1 which was created in step(1) is deleted from standalone.xml, ds4node2 is written into standalone.xml. ↓ (3) careate datasource "ds4node3" to node3 and ds4node2 which was created in step(2) is deleted from standalone.xml, ds4node3 is written into standalone.xml. {quote} {color:red} after restarting the three nodes, the three nodes refers to standalone.xml, and share the last created datasource "ds4node3"。 {color} {color:red} the above style may confuse users. if it is a style flaw, is there any plan to improve it. {color}
