Thanks Kedar =]
Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking to be able to do. I'm not really
too picky on how it is implemented and I think if I understand you
correctly, that seems to be a good way to do it.
So post-restructuring the domain.xml I could theoretically add this
designated token using the create-system-properties function so that it
would be evaluated as a JVM_OPT dynamically on an instance by instance
case?
Would this be capable of holding multiple java args in that token, and
do you think it'd be possible to eventually integrate this into the
admin interface?
I'm very basic with Java but if there is a place that I would start to
look at to integrate this so that I could help contribute, could you or
anyone else possibly point out where I might start?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
(Sorry for referring you as Andrews, earlier :) )
Let me tell you the high-level idea (and I am going to
blog about it once I get a breather).
In the domain.xml, we can store a token almost anywhere, like
this:
<domain>
...
<configs>
<config name="aconfig">
<java-config ...>
<jvm-options> ${TokenForDashD} </jvm-options>
...
</java-config>
</config>
</configs>
<servers>
<server name="server1" config-ref="aconfig">
...
<system-property name="TokenForDashD" value="Foo"/>
</server>
<server name="server1" config-ref="aconfig">
...
<system-property name="TokenForDashD" value="Bar"/>
</server>
</servers>
...
</domain>
Hope you are with me.
Now, when "server1" starts, it will take value of "TokenForDashD" to
be "Foo", whereas "server2" will take it as "Bar" passed to the Java
command invocation that starts the server instance!
Is that what you are not looking for?
Sorry if I misunderstood.
If this is what it is, I will document this as a blog and then
make sure our official documentation reflects this.
Thanks and Regards,
Kedar
PS: Like I said, there are a few bugs in this and we will fix them soon.
