-------------------------------------

             Summary: log4j.configuration system property cannot be set
                 Key: ISPN-1749
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1749
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 5.1.0.CR4
         Environment: Unix
            Reporter: David van Balen
            Assignee: Manik Surtani


Although the startServer.sh script provides a way to specify custom system properties, via the JVM_PARAMS environment variable, it is not possible to specify a different log4j configuration file through the log4j.configuration system property because it will be overridden in functions.sh (see script snippet below, starting at line 154 of functions.sh). I think the portion of functions.sh that sets the location of the log4j configuration file should only execute if the user hasn't provided their own location.

  # Log4J config path needs path conversion in Cygwin
  if $CYGWIN; then
    LOG4J_CONFIG=`cygpath -w "${ISPN_HOME}/etc/log4j.xml"`
  else
    LOG4J_CONFIG=${ISPN_HOME}/etc/log4j.xml
  fi
  START_ARGS=( "${START_ARGS[@]}" "-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///$LOG4J_CONFIG" )
