Hello, I am passing application.home and application.configFile to JAVA_OPTS in run.bat and run.sh files for windows and unix instances respectively. I am not able to access these files from my application after deploying the ear file. Windows instance: set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dapplication.home=C:\jboss405GA\server\default\deploy\ set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dapplication.configFile=bin\security.ini Since the ear is exploded in the tmp directory, i am not able to access my home directory like this: System.getProperty("application.home") Any help is greatly appreciated. We use this on other app servers like OC4J and weblogic too. regards Yugandhar View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4026461#...
