[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-2643) Pass the jboss.server.log.dir parameter to the global system properties

James Perkins resolved WFLY-2643.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix


There is a workaround to use the {{-Djboss.server.log.dir}} system property via the command line or via the {{standalone.conf(.bat)}}. I'd rather not make any changes to the scripts if possible as we've had issues with them recently.

>             Project: WildFly
>          Issue Type: Enhancement
>          Components: Logging, Server
>    Affects Versions: JBoss AS7 7.1.1.Final, 8.0.0.Beta1
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Stian Lund
>            Priority: Optional

> In standalone/domain start scripts (standalone.sh/bat) the value of environment variable JBOSS_LOG_DIR is checked for:
> {code}
> # determine the default log dir, if not set
> if [ "x$JBOSS_LOG_DIR" = "x" ]; then
>    JBOSS_LOG_DIR="$JBOSS_BASE_DIR/log"
> fi
> {code}
> However, this is not actually used to set the value of Java property jboss.server.log.dir.
> {code}
> -Djboss.home.dir="$JBOSS_HOME" 
> -Djboss.server.base.dir="$JBOSS_BASE_DIR" 
> "$SERVER_OPTS"
> {code}
> (It should be set at the same place)
> This leads Jboss/Wildfly/EAP to assume the default value of $JBOSS_BASE_DIR/log.
> This is a problem for those who want to override the location of the server.log files.
