running JBOSS with custom parameters

[smin3r]

Hi guys!

I need to run a JBOSS instance passing custom parameters at startup.
In particular I've configured a mysql-ds.xml file in this way:


<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>${jboss.ds.name}</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/jbossdb</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>admin</user-name>
admin
<exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>


<type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>

</local-tx-datasource>



starting JBOSS with line:

./run.sh -c all -Djboss.ds.name=mydatasourcename

and checking my ds by administration console I've found a datasource called: ${jboss.ds.name} instead of expected mydatasourcename.

Maybe it's not possible to parametrize all properties in configuration .xml files?

thanks all.

As far as i know, that should have worked. Which version of JBossAS do you use? And what does it show on the console? Logs like these:

18:40:25,514 INFO [ConnectionFactoryBindingService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=DefaultDS' to JNDI name 'java:DefaultDS'

JBoss versione 5.1 with JDK 1.6

here the log:

21:25:16,455 INFO [ConnectionFactoryBindingService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=${jboss.ds.name}' to JNDI name 'java:${jboss.ds.name}'

Any idea?
thx

Looks like a bug. It's been reported against AS5 https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4585. Used to work in 4.x.
