Mladen Turk closed DAEMON-198.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Paths ending with backslashes are invalid.
If you suspect you can have a backslash in the evironment variable you can use
the following:
++JvmOptions=-DBASE_PATH="%basePath:\=/%"
This will expand basePath with all back slashes translated to forward slashes.
> Unexpected behavior parsing arguments to "install service" for procrun
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DAEMON-198
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-198
> Project: Commons Daemon
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Procrun
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Reporter: Steve Ash
> Priority: Minor
>
> When running the command line to install a procrun service, I had a batch
> script that looked something like:
> {panel}
> set basePath=c:\base path\
> ...
> procrun.exe //IS ... ++JvmOptions=-DBASE_PATH="%basePath%" --JvmMs=...
> {panel}
> Unfortunately when the arguments were parsed the ending slash for the
> basePath environment variable caused the double quote to be escaped. This
> threw off all of the subsequent arguments, causing a large string to be put
> into the Jvm Options registry key, but the min heap size (for example) to be
> not set at all.
> The workaround we used was to put a double slash at the end of basePath, e.g.
> basePath=c:\base path\\. We couldn't easily switch all of the slashes to
> front slashes because we were using %cd% to fill in some of the paths.
> Though maybe the mixed slashes would be ok.
> In any case, as this is a Windows application a trailing slash I would expect
> to be common, and in parsing command line arguments with paths in quotes--
> this seems like a common point of potential confusion and unexpected results.
> Maybe its not worth the trouble, but I wanted to bring it up in any case.
