[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-5363) run.conf ignored by run.bat under Windows

[Eric Soyke (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5363?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12497838#action_12497838 ] 

Eric Soyke commented on JBAS-5363:
----------------------------------

Yes, it is messy to have to embed stuff in the run.bat. You can mimic the functionality of the run.conf by creating another bat file to load your properties and then just calling it from within run.bat. For instance...

somewhere in run.bat:
CALL run.conf.bat

in a new file called run.conf.bat:
SET JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m
SET JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DKEY1=VALUE1
SET JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DKEY2=VALUE2
etc...

It's not totally portable as you have to duplicate the arguments over in run.conf if you are later deploying in Unix (and change the syntax accordingly), but it's a lot cleaner than trying to remember everything to cut and paste from run.bat to run.sh.

> JBoss does not parse run.conf under Windows, so configuration options have to be added to run.bat directly, which is not nice.
> Under AIX, JBoss (same version) correclty parses run.conf (e.g. JAVA_OPTS).
> JBoss should behave the same in both environments, so it becomes "configure once, run anywhere" ,=)
