There were several suggestions to improve exec with spawn="true" with a Java wrapper which would do the pumping of stdout/stderr.
Please feel free to proceed and improve the behavior of exec with spawn="true". I have seen that if you start jboss via bat file on Windows, if you do not redirect stdout to NUL jboss dies. This was working for me : <exec executable="cmd.exe" spawn="true"> <arg value="/C"/> <arg value="C:/projects/xpetstore-jdo/jboss/bin/run.bat"/> <arg value=">NUL"/> </exec> Cheers, Antoine
