[Wrapper-user] Re: Defining enviroment variable on the command line.

[Rich T. <ric...@po...>]

I ran into a similar situation with environment variables.

I am setting the APP_HOME environment variable the installshield 
script, then installing the wrapper service with the following line in my 
wrapper.conf:
wrapper.java.classpath.1=%APP_HOME%\lib\*.jar

Because of the way the NT service manager doesn't reload environment
variables this doesn't work until after the machine is rebooted(as you
discussed earlier).

Currently we are just working around this, but I think it should be
possible to add a configuration options like:
wrapper.ntservice.envFromRegistry=true

When this property is set, the wrapper would query the windows registry
directly.

I don't know if this would work for you Mikkel, but it was a thought I
had.  I just need to find the time to go implement it.
