Hi Bengt, thanks for the reminder and sorry that you don't get any feedback before.
I'm gonna take a look on your issues. Regards JB On 06/09/2011 07:38 PM, Bengt Rodehav wrote:
Hi JB, I've created a product (called Connect) that customises Karaf in lots of different ways. One of them is to modify karaf.bat and karaf-wrapper.conf in order to set a number of "standard" system properties that Connect depends on. However, Connect is a pretty general integration platform that we use in many different ways - it is not feasible to make customised packaging in all these cases. Users need to be able to define their own (installation specific) system properties to be used in e g configuration files picked up by file install. I want these system properties to be defined outside of the Karaf installation without having to modify the installation itself. I've written about customisation of Karaf before on this list (I think you took part in that conversation). I ended up creating the following JIRA's but I haven't seen any activity in this area which is why I now try to narrow down the scope to just adding system properties using an extension point. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-474 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-475 For me, it's very important that it is possible to customise Karaf by extension points - not by modifying the files that are included in the Karaf installation. /Bengt 2011/6/9 Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Hi Bengt, What you can do is: bin/karaf /tmp/my-rc and my-rc can contain: JAVA_OPTS="-Dmy.property=my" You will have my.property in the System properties and you will be able to use it in blueprint for instance.

The reason is that I want to be able to use as much as possible of a vanilla Karaf. Is that possible? I have seen that custom.properties can be used to override settings in config.properties but I haven't seen any property that allows me to specify a filename containing system properties. What I'm looking for is something similar to the "${includes}" property in config.properties. That property allows me to list several files that contain configuration properties. It would be nice if config.properties contained a property - say "system.properties" that would contain a list of files containing system properties that would be added at boot time. /Bengt
