GlassFish does not and probably CAN NOT change the temp dir. The JDK
itself sets it by (presumably) asking the OS. I just added this line:
message += "\njava.io.tmpdir=" + System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir");
to UptimeCommand.java. I rebuilt and ran "asadmin uptime" and I see this:
d:\gf\v3\core\kernel>asadmin uptime
Up 14 secs*
java.io.tmpdir=c:\tmp\
*-- which is precisely what I expected to see.
============
What YOU are seeing for the temp dir is actually your current working
directory. GlassFish has an iron-clad guarantee. If you start with
asadmin then your current working directory will be the server's config dir.
Try running a simple one line java program that prints out
java.io.tmpdir. If you see the current directory then you probably need
to set a tempdir environmental variable in your environment.
