[jboss-as7-dev] Can't override the path "jboss.server.log.dir" in config file

[Vimal Kansal]

Hi,

In the admin guide, it is mentioned under "Paths" section :

"
JBoss AS 7 automatically provides a number of standard paths without any 
need for the user to configure them in a configuration file:

     jboss.home - the root directory of the JBoss AS distribution
     user.home - user's home directory
     user.dir - user's current working directory
     java.home - java installation directory
     jboss.server.base.dir - root directory for an individual server 
instance
     jboss.server.data.dir - directory the server will use for 
persistent data file storage
     jboss.server.log.dir - directory the server will use for log file 
storage
     jboss.server.tmp.dir - directory the server will use for temporary 
file storage
     jboss.domain.servers.dir - directory under which a host controller 
will create the working area for individual server instances (managed 
domain mode only)

*Users can add their own paths or override all except the first 5 of the 
above by adding a <path/> element to their configuration file.*

"

which means I should be able to override "jboss.server.log.dir" and when 
I do that in "standalone_preview.xml" :

<paths>
<path name="jboss.server.log.dir" value="C:\\vkk\\as7log"/>
</paths>

  I get the following error :

I was wondering, if the doc is wrong or I am doing something wrong.

Thx
