What is the loading order of the System Properties in JBoss EAP 7

Solution Unverified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 7.x

Issue

  • We have configured system properties in JAVA_OPTS and also in the JBoss profile xml, which one takes priority?

Resolution

If the system property is passed on the command line or JAVA_OPTS and is also specified in the profile xml, then the profile xml value will override it.

standalone.conf

JAVA_OPTS="-Dmy.system.property=value1"

This one overrides what is in the JAVA_OPTS:

    <system-properties>
        <property name="my.system.property" value="value2"/> 
   </system-properties>

System property not taking effect even though it is listed on the JAVA_OPTS / process listing, etc in JBoss EAP 7 / 6
