Summary 0001842: Environment variables no longer work in resin.conf
Description In the 3.1.2 snapshot, you can no longer pass environment variables into the conf file to use as EL. Here is an example that works in 3.0.x and 3.1.1 and earlier.

httpd.exe -DDEV_HOME=%CD%

resin.conf
<web-app id="/" root-directory="${DEV_HOME}/site-public" />
Additional Information Tested against snapshot on 6/18.

In Resin 3.1, you need -J-DDEV_HOME. The top-level -D would only affect the watchdog manager.

I'm leaving this bug open in case it's possible to propagate the -D directly to the child without the -J.

Thanks for the explanation. The -D works in 3.1.0 and 3.1.1, and it's only the snapshot that this doesn't work. I also tried passing the value explicitly in <jvm-args> and that didn't get it picked up either.

Just confirmed that -D works in 3.1.1 but not 3.1.2 snapshot. The -J-D works in 3.1.1 and 3.1.2.

Assuming you intend to leave this change going forward, then you probably want to change the documentation in httpd.exe -h as well as http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.1/doc/resin-web-server.xtp#JDK%20arguments [^]

Thanks.

The -J-D will have to be the replacement. There doesn't appear to be a way to find out the -D arguments directly, and any heuristic propagation of System.getProperty values would introduce more uncertainty about the normal operation.

The arguments are available through JMX.
