It is a test environment but not default it has its own name.

I do not have a line like
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_USER=user_name"

[tschungelbuch]

Ok, I have changed now in run.conf the lines according to your line above and it work!
The bus came up with no error message.

How can I now move those property values into another configuration file?

[kconner]

Okay, so you had not been defining the properties.

We now know that property substitution works so if you define the MBean in the conf/jboss-service.xml, referring to your property file, then it should work.

Would the content of the property file be like:

STX_AQ_USER=user_name
STX_AQ_PASSWORD=password
STX_AQ_SERVER=db.int.server.com
STX_AQ_INSTANCE=dbtest
STX_AQ_SCHEMA=schema_name
STX_AQ_PORT=1521
STX_AQ_DRIVER=thin

or like

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_USER=user_name"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_PASSWORD=password"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_SERVER=db.int.server.com"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_INSTANCE=dbtest"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_SCHEMA=schema_name"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_PORT=1521"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DSTX_AQ_DRIVER=thin"

And in which MBean do I have to include it? In the one below?

 <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService"
 name="jboss:type=Service,name=SystemProperties">

 <attribute name="URLList">

[kconner]

That's the right MBean and, IIRC, it takes normal java property files so you first version should work.

The -D version is just for running java command lines.

Now it works...
But when I look at the beginning of this threat the only difference is that I write the name now in capitals and not in lower case and with underline instead of a dot.
Maybe you may tell whether there is something else there I have missed.

But anyhow, thank you very much for your support.

I wish you a nice day.

Kind regards
