    Description

      In JBoss 4.2.3, I was able to prepend to run.bat a JAVA_OPTS option with a pipe symbol (|) by escaping it using quote marks.

      Example:
      set JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|*.ldms.ibm.com"

      In JBoss 5.0.1.GA and 5.1.0.Beta1, the run.bat script has been modified slightly so that this is no longer possible. This modification was to wrap JAVA_OPTS with quote marks which will not parse if JAVA_OPTS already has quote marks as in the above example. There are two places where this occurs. Here is the first place:

      if "x%JAVA_OPTS%" == "x" (
      set "JAVA_OPTS=-Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%"
      ) else (
      set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%"
      )

      The first place where it occurs can be fixed by reverting to the version 4.2.3 run.bat code without quote marks:

      set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%

      The second place it occurs is as follows:

      if not errorlevel == 1 (
      set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server"
      )

      This second place can be fixed by removing the quote marks:

      if not errorlevel == 1 (
      set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server
      )
