JBoss EAP 6 environment variables: standalone vs. domain

[mike.tihonchik]

I am trying to set up some environment variables for my standalone JBoss EAP 6 instance, but the code does not seem to pick it up.

Here is what I had to do in my startjboss.sh for JBoss EAP 5:

export MYSPECIALIP=127.0.0.1
nohup run.sh

In JBoss EAP 6, in domain mode, I changed host.xml file on my host to include the following:

<jvms>
     <jvm name="default">
          <environment-variables>
               <variable name="MYSPECIALIP" value="127.0.0.1"/>
          </environment-variables>
          <heap size="64m" max-size="256m"/>
          <permgen size="256m" max-size="256m"/>
          <jvm-options>
               <option value="-server"/>
          </jvm-options>
     </jvm>
</jvms>

Now, I would like to know how to do it for JBoss EAP 6 standalone mode? So far I tried to add it in standalone.conf alongside Java options, but it did not work.

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx3g -Xms3g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m $JAVA_OPTS"
MYSPECIALIP=127.0.0.1

You can use

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DMYSECIALIP=127.0.0.1"

But I recommend to use the system-properties in the configuration.
