Bug in run.conf.bat 88820 2009-05-13

The run.conf.bat in 5.1.0.GA has a bug in it, at least as it relates to running the JBoss server on Windows XP as a service.

The id at top of the file is

$Id: run.conf.bat 88820 2009-05-13 15:25:44Z dimitris@jboss.org $

The bug is that the code to set the JAVA_HOME directory gets skipped when the first executable line in the file is hit:

if not "x%JAVA_OPTS%" == "x" goto JAVA_OPTS_SET

Note that the line to set JAVA_HOME occurs after this line and in some cases will not be executed.

Then when you start as a service in Windows XP, you will see an error message at the top of the run.log file that JAVA_HOME was not set.

I do see that the setting of JAVA_HOME will be skipped if the JAVA_OPTS is already set. I agree it appears to be a bug.

Just to understand your problem - you are setting the JAVA_HOME value in the run.conf.bat file, am I right?

Correct.

In my case I added a new JAVA_HOME line above the "goto" to solve the problem.
