I am an experience object-oriented programmer, but havent done alot with JBoss. I am working on a Java app hosting in JBoss right now that I am having an issue getting certain environment variables. Consider this line of code: System.getProperty("jboss.server.home.dir") Should this not produce the home directory of JBoss "out-of-the-box", or do I need to perform some sort of manual initialization for this setting (ie - look into a file, pull a manually set config value for the dir, then set the property)? Right now, the code above produces NULL invariably - and I have tried everything to resolve the issue. My first experience with JBoss hasnt been a good one - LOL. Hopefully it will get better. Thanks in advance for your help! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4131233#...
