> I'm not able to configure AS7 to use all configuration files from different location than standard $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration or $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration. I'm using system properties described on confluence [1]. The same for log files.
> AS7 always requires logging.properties from $JBOSS_HOME and it writes boot.log into directories under $JBOSS_HOME depending whether standalone or domain is running.
> The root of this problem is in scripts:
> standalone.sh/.bat
> {code}
> -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/boot.log
> -Dlogging.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/logging.properties
> {code}
> domain.sh/.bat
> {code}
> -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_HOME/domain/log/process-controller/boot.log
> -Dlogging.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/logging.properties
> -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=$JBOSS_HOME/domain/log/host-controller/boot.log
> -Dlogging.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/logging.properties
> {code}
> My idea:
> Introduce LOG_PATH + CONFIGURATION_PATH properties (similar to MODULEPATH property) in .sh/.bat files to have logs and configuration outside AS7/EAP6.
> Default LOG_PATH by default would be $JBOSS_HOME/domain/log or $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log.
> Default CONFIGURATION_PATH would be $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration or $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration.
> Definitions of -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file= and -Dlogging.configuration= would be changed to use LOG_PATH + CONFIGURATION_PATH properties.
> Changes for server instances can be modified using system properties -- jboss.server.log.dir + jboss.server.config.dir OR jboss.domain.log.dir + jboss.domain.config.dir + jboss.domain.servers.dir.
