    Windows installation scripts case sensitive

    bradleyross

      I was installing JBoss 7.1.1 on a Windows system and found that many of the batch scripts in the bin directory contain code of the form

       

      if "%RESOLVED_JBOSS_HOME%" NEQ "%SANITIZED_JBOSS_HOME%"

       

      The purpose of this code is to ensure that the directory containing the batch file is the bin subdirectory of the directory indicated by the environmental variable JBOSS_HOME.  Since Windows is a case insensitive system, the if statement should have a /I flag to indicate that the comparison is done on a case insensitive basis.

       

      if /I "%REOLVED_JBOSS_HOME%" NEQ "%SANITIZED_JBOSS_HOME%"

       

      I suspect that the same problem may occur on several of the distributions.  I'm not sure where this should be reported.  Any suggestions?

          AS7.1.1 is a realy old version.

          If you look to the current WildFly, which is the sucessor for AS7, this is solved.

          Anyway, if you find issues you can file a issue here WildFly - JBoss Issue Tracker

            My understanding was that JBoss 7.1.1 was the latest "released" version and Wildly was considered beta.  Are bug fixes still be applied to the JBoss AS 7.x line?  Is there any interest in applying fixes in the development versions to the older release versions?

              As AS7 is an outdated community version there will be no bugfixes made here. All fixes in a community edition will go to upstream.

              The github repository is used for further wildfly development.

              EAP, which is based on AS7, is different. Here you get fixes if you have a subscription.

               

              No the latest release is is WildFly 8.0, so you should move to that.

                Just small correction, latest release is WildFly 8.2.0.Final

                and wildfly 8 is just renamed "jboss as" project, that is also why it has version 8 as "first version".

                Only big difference between wildfly 8 and AS7 is that wildfly 8 is java EE7 certified where AS7 is EE6 certified.
