Re: [jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-693) Need startup scripts in bin directory

[Kresten Krab Thorup]

It seems that there is a handful of things that are very difficult to set programatically because their values are processed very early in JVM initialization, and so we have simply added these to startup scripts in our appserver. From the top of my head, these include

    -Djava.ext.dirs=
    -Djava.endorsed.dirs=



It's always such a hassle that these have to be added manually...

I think the trick is you must set the value before the vm attempt to load any classes from the endorsed packages (xml, corba and a few others).

Early on in the Tomcat integration development, we attempted to set the endorsed.dir in the TomcatContainer GBean through an attribute, but it never stuck. We could never get the Tomcat container to launch without the dreaded XML/Doc error. Perhaps it needs to be done in the main class as opposed to the TomcatContainer (could this have to do with when the classes are loaded?). I am willing to try this out. Could you point me in the direction to where this gets set in the main class? I would be happy to verify this indeed works (or doesn't work) with Tomcat.

That is weird. The endorsed dir in the main class seems to work for the TCK tests.

Dain,

This won't work...the JVM seems to need this at startup. We tried having the classes set this property themselves, but there is something in pre-startup of the JVM that requires this setting in order for the endorsed dirs to take effect. Setting it once the JVM has started results in the endorsed.dir property being ignored.

That should be added automatically by the main class.

----------------------------------------

Do not forget the -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib/endorsed to the java command line in these scripts or Tomcat will not run.

Need startup scripts in bin directory

         Key: GERONIMO-693
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-693
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: New Feature
 Environment: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X
    Reporter: Erin Mulder
    Assignee: John Sisson
    Priority: Minor

It would be nice to have obvious startup.sh and startup.bat scripts in the bin directory so that the user doesn't need to look at the README file to figure out how to start the server. (java - jar bin/server.jar isn't hard -- it's just not quite as brainless as a script called "startup").
