      Putting "" around the echo statements fixes this error.

      if exist "%RUN_CONF%" (

      echo "Calling %RUN_CONF%"

      call "%RUN_CONF%" %*

      ) else (

      echo "Config file not found %RUN_CONF%"

    • Estimated Difficulty:
      Low
    • Release Notes Text:
      Hide
      Due to missing quotation of certain echo statements in the <filename>run.bat</filename> script, JBoss Enterprise Application Server failed to start if the JBOSS_HOME path contained one or more parentheses (e.g. <filename>C:\JB-EAP(test)\jboss-eap-5.1\jboss-as</filename>), and returned the following error message:

      <screen>
      \Jboss-5.1.0\bin\run.conf.bat was unexpected at this time.
      </screen>

      Double quotes have been added around the echo statements in the <filename>run.bat</filename> file, ensuring that JBoss Enterprise Application Server starts successfully even if the JBOSS_HOME path contains parentheses.

      Description

      If the JBOSS_HOME path contains "( )" in the path then the run.bat fails to execute. For example if the JBOSS_HOME is set to "c:\Program Files (test)\JBoss" then the run.bat fails to execute with the following error message:-

      \Jboss-5.1.0\bin\run.conf.bat was unexpected at this time.

      This error is due to not having the double quotes in the echo statements below:-

      if exist "%RUN_CONF%" (
      echo Calling %RUN_CONF%
      call "%RUN_CONF%" %*
      ) else (
      echo Config file not found %RUN_CONF%
      )
