Setting system parameter in wildfly-maven-plugin - help needed

[haiaw]

Hi,

I have below wildfly-maven-plugin config and I need to set log4j.configuration system parameter. Each developer has different ${project.basedir} folder thats why it is a property which is resolved by maven during build and provides required system property for log4j mechanism.

I use 1.0.0.Final version of the plugin.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${version.wildfly.maven.plugin}</version>
  <configuration>
  <jbossHome>${jboss.home}</jbossHome>
  <serverConfig>${server.config}</serverConfig>
  <executeCommands>/system-property=log4j.configuration:write-attribute(name="value", value="file:${project.basedir}/src/resources/log4j.properties")
   </executeCommands>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Unfortunatelly this parameter is not set..

Just remember to change

<jbossHome>${jboss.home}</jbossHome>

to correct path and

<jboss.home>yourpath\wildfly-9.0.2.Final</jboss.home>

Aby help would be appreciated.

You would have to start the container and execute the execute-commands goal in order for that system property to be added. Also your configurations is not definied correctly. See WildFly Maven Plugin – Execute Commands Example for details.

mvn wildfly:start wildfly:execute-commands wildfly:shutdown

Another option would be to use the <before-deployment> command option which the run goal and deploy goal use.

<plugin>  
  <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>  
  <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>  
  <version>${version.wildfly.maven.plugin}</version>  
  <configuration>  
      <jbossHome>${jboss.home}</jbossHome>  
      <serverConfig>${server.config}</serverConfig>
      <before-deployment>
        <commands>
            <command>/system-property=log4j.configuration:write-attribute(name="value", value="file:${project.basedir}/src/resources/log4j.properties")</command>
        </commands>
      </before-deployment>
  </configuration>  
</plugin>
