quotes around JAVA_OPTS in run.bat
----------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-6725
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6725
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.Beta1, JBossAS-5.0.1.GA
         Environment: Windows XP and JDK 6
            Reporter: David Croft


In JBoss 4.2.3, I was able to prepend to run.bat a JAVA_OPTS option with a pipe symbol (|) by escaping it using quote marks.

Example:
set JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|*.ldms.ibm.com"

In JBoss 5.0.1.GA and 5.1.0.Beta1, the run.bat script has been modified slightly so that this is no longer possible.  This modification was to wrap JAVA_OPTS with quote marks which will not parse if JAVA_OPTS already has quote marks as in the above example.  There are two places where this occurs.  Here is the first place:

if "x%JAVA_OPTS%" == "x" (
  set "JAVA_OPTS=-Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%"
) else (
  set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%"
)

The first place where it occurs can be fixed by reverting to the version 4.2.3 run.bat code without quote marks:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%

The second place it occurs is as follows:

if not errorlevel == 1 (
  set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server"
)

This second place can be fixed by removing the quote marks:

if not errorlevel == 1 (
  set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server
)
