                 Key: JBAS-7705
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7705
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-6.0.0.M1
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: JBossAS-6.0.0.M2


The handling of the org.jboss.Main props field is inconsistent with respect to how it interacts with system properties. In AS trunk 'props' is a Map<String, String> used to store "all of the required information to get the server up and running." There is some effort to keep the data in props consistent with system properties but it is incomplete.

1) System properties passed to java (i.e. not as args to main). Unlike in earlier releases, 'props' is no longer initialized with the current system properties values. So, any system properties passed to java that match what we want to store in 'props' won't end up in 'props'.

2) -D handling. We check for -Djboss.bind.address and ensure the value ends up in 'props', but we don't check for the other relevant system properties.

3) -P handling. After loading any specified properties file into System.properties, again there is no check for any system properties that match what we want to store in 'props'.

Probably the simplest fix here is, after all the command line arguments are processed, System.properties should be checked for any interesting properties, with the values stored in 'props'.
