Different versions of JBoss on the same host

The simplest thing to do is not to set the JBOSS_HOME environment variable at all. If you call run.bat without the variable being set, then the script will set it to its own JBoss directory. Explicitly setting it allows you to override where JBoss looks for things, but then you have to manage it yourself, and you get into a mess.

So remove the variable, and let JBoss take care of its own directories.

I cannot remove JBOSS_HOME.On production environment JBoss 4 used by other products.And they explicitly set JBOSS_HOME.But I need to use JBoss 5.I see that two different instances of JBoss works without problems. But I am not shure that my JBoss do not use jar files from installation of JBoss 4.

In that case, change the value of `JBOSS_HOME` before you run JBoss 5. You should be able to change it locally within the script that calls JBoss's `run.bat`

Yes - I can to do it. But I want to know - should I to do it or changing of jboss.home.dir/jboss.home.dir properties will be enough?

@Vladimir: Changing `JBOSS_HOME` is easier - don't mess with the individual system properties unless you really need to

I do not understand - why there are jboss.home.dir, jboss.home.url properties if we can just redefine JBOSS_HOME or start jboss from directory where JBoss was installed?

@Vladimir: Because some users want to change the position of the log dir etc, relative to `JBOSS_HOME`. You don't need to, so don't mess with those properties, just change `JBOSS_HOME`.

If someone would like to change location of log directory or directory with configuration(default, web, etc) he should change swp.jboss.deploy.url and jboss.server.base.dir/jboss.server.base.url.It does not depend on JBOSS_HOME.

OK, I'm rapidly losing interest in this question... take it or leave it, chap.
