I have an app on jboss which logging through log4j. When I running my server through bat file (standalone.bat) logs work, but there is a problem under standalone.sh file. Here is how I set JAVA_OPTS in standalone.bat:

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dlog4j.configuration=file:../standalone/configuration/log4j.xml"

and it works. How should I do this in standalone.sh file? I tried something like this:

JAVA_OPTS= "$JAVA_OPTS -Dlog4j.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/log4j.xml"

But it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

The standalone.sh file will be interpreted by the shell, so it needs to be valid shell script. Remove the space after the = and you should be good. That makes the java opts line look like:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dlog4j.configuration=file:$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/log4j.xml"
