JBoss variables

[kevinlam]

Hi All,

Sorry to cross post here and in the beginner's corner. I really need to know how to create a variable in JBoss (i.e. ${jboss.server.home.dir}) which can let me specify a file in the log4j.properties.

Many thx

Kevin

From what I've seen, log4j will automatically replace ${...} with the corresponding value in system properties. So if you include ${my.log.dir} as a value in your log4j.properties, you could specify -Dmy.log.dir=/path/to/log/dir in the command line and /path/to/log/dir will be substitued for ${my.log.dir} by log4j.

You could also create a properties file that contains my.log.dir=/path/to/log/dir and pass it to JBoss's main program using -P my.properties.

Thx for your reply, I am a bit confused... How to start JBoss with the -D or -P options?

I am using eclipse plugin for starting JBoss at the moment.

Also, is there not a kind of xml configuration file which I can specifies the variables name? :)

Thx

Kev
