change JBOSS_BASE_DIR to start different server deployments

redcar Aug 20, 2014 6:29 AM

Hallo,

inside the standalone.bat is defined the variable JBOSS_BASE_DIR.

Now I had the idea to create diffenrent standalone_x.bat files and set the JBOSS_BASE_DIR variables to different directories.

So it should be possible to install only one WildFly server, and start different standalone servers with different deployments and ports.

But when I start the standalone_b.bat which points to JBOSS_BASE_DIR=%JBOSS_HOME%\standalone_a,

WildFly wants to read the configuration file from %JBOSS_HOME%\standalone

It seems, that WildFly do not take the defined JBOSS_BASE_DIR to the property jboss.server.base.dir

Setting the property jboss.server.base.dir with -D from the commandline is also not working.

I wanted to prevent different full installation of WildFly on one machine. and copy and change only the standalone_x directories.

Like it worked with JBoss 5

Best regards,

Werner

You should be able to set the JBOSS_BASE_DIR environment variable. Either in your console session or in the standalone.conf(.bat). Passing -Djboss.server.base.dir=/some/path should also work.

Now I have the resolution:

Inside the standalone.bat set this for example:
rem Set the standalone base dir
if "x%JBOSS_BASE_DIR%" == "x" (
set "JBOSS_BASE_DIR=%JBOSS_HOME%\standalone_700"
)

and:

rem Set the standalone log dir
rem set "JBOSS_LOG_DIR=%JBOSS_BASE_DIR%\log"
if "x%JBOSS_LOG_DIR%" == "x" (
set "JBOSS_LOG_DIR=%COMPANY_HOME%\Log_WildFly"
)

and

   org.jboss.as.standalone ^
"-Djboss.home.dir=%JBOSS_HOME%" ^
      "-Djboss.server.log.dir=%COMPANY_HOME%\Log_WildFly" ^
      "-Djboss.server.base.dir=%JBOSS_HOME%\standalone_700" ^
      "-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=700" ^
   %SERVER_OPTS%

So I have set another standalone home directory, a special log directory and another port.
With these setting it seems to be fine.
Only the -D parameters are not working.

Works for me, and is much more clean solution than edit sh/bat directly. Thanks

Go to original post

	org.jboss.as.standalone ^
	"-Djboss.home.dir=%JBOSS_HOME%" ^
