             Summary: Make working directory for server processes configurable
                 Key: AS7-5813

          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Server
    Affects Versions: 7.1.3.Final (EAP), 7.1.1.Final, 7.2.0.Alpha1, 7.1.4.Final (EAP)
         Environment: all

Currently there is no configuration option to set the working directory of the server-process(es).

Host- and domain-controller both use system-property "user.dir", but for the server-process in org.jboss.as.host.controller.ManagedServer.ProcessAddTask#execute() the following is used to initiate the new process:
 
processControllerClient.addProcess(serverProcessName, authKey, command.toArray(new String[command.size()]), environment.getHomeDir().getAbsolutePath(), env);

where environment.getHomeDir().getAbsolutePath() donates the working directory for the new process.


I tested JBoss with changed working directory and this seems not to introduce any issue, so I would request this becomming a configuration option.

A simple approach is to use system-property "user.dir" also for the server-processes. A more advanced soltion is to make this a configuration element/attribute beneath the server-configuration.
