JBoss: How to create my own configuration folder than defaul

[sean_cool02]

I have JBoss 4.2.2 running on my machine.
CUrrently my application runs through JBOSS_HOME/server/default... folder.
I wish to create a new folder environment and let JBoss start with it.
JBOSS_HOME/server/default.

run.bat -c myapp option I dont not wish to use as I am starting server as a windows service.

Tell me alternative way or configuration setting to do this.

run.bat -c myapp option I dont not wish to use as I am starting server as a windows service.

How are you starting it as a service? Are you using JBossNative to start it as a service? There are ways, to pass the -c option through the service configuration.

I am using install.bat to install JBoss as a service and then starting it as a Windows service from the adminstrative tools->service.

This is not service.bat which you posted, tyhis is run.bat (even says so in the 6th line).

Because you are using JBoss Native, you can add the -c (or any other options such as -b) to the service.bat file. Here is an example (with enough surrounding lines to give context):

:cmdStart
REM Executed on service start
...
call run.bat -c yourconfig < .r.lock >> run.log 2>&1
...
goto cmdEnd

I resolved the issue by using Java Service wrapper.

Thanks all of you for your help.
