Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-1406:
---------------------------------
Urgency: Low
> ij.property in -p propertyfile can be superceded by -Dproperty on command
> line (without ij string)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-1406
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1406
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 10.0.2.1, 10.2.0.0
> Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 10.2.0.0
>
>
> The documentation
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/tools/ttoolsij30600.html indicates one
> can set ij properties like ij.maximumDisplayWidth or ij.database in either a
> properties file indicated with java org.apache.derby.tools.ij -p <filename>,
> or by using the -Dij.<propertyname>.
> However, it appears that instead, the ij.properties in the file are
> equivalent to properties of the same name in a file or on the commandline,
> but using -Dij.<propertyname> has no effect.
> So, this works:
> > java org.apache.derby.tools.ij -p myij.properties
> where myij.properties contained the string: maximumDisplayWidth=15
> > java org.apache.derby.tools.ij -p myij.properties
> where myij.properties contained the string: ij.maximumDisplayWidth=15
> > java -DmaximumDisplayWidth=5 org.apache.derby.tools.ij
> (and if the setting is like so:
> > java -DmaximumDisplayWidth=5 org.apache.derby.tools.ij -p myij.properties
> where myij.properties contained the string: ij.maximumDisplayWidth=15 the
> display width is actually 5)
> But this does not work:
> > java -Dij.maximumDisplayWidth=5 org.apache.derby.tools.ij
> That is, the display width for an ij select remains the default.
> I thought this might be a doc bug, but response from the list indicates it is
> illogical to have a property in a file (eg. ij.maximumDisplayWidth) be
> superceded by a different property on the command line (eg.
> -DmaximumDisplayWidth)
> I verified that the behavior has been like this since the contribution of
> derby to apache (10.0)
