Description

A space in the KARAF_ETC environment variable will cause problems at least under MS Windows, because the entry

wrapper.java.additional.11=-Djava.util.logging.config.file=%KARAF_ETC%/java.util.logging.properties

**is missing double quotes at least around %KARAF_ETC%.

The wrapper.log shows this:

 

INFO   | jvm 1    | 2019/03/08 02:06:13 | Error: Could not find or load main class Files\foo\karaf\bin\..\etc.java.util.logging.properties

ERROR  | wrapper  | 2019/03/08 02:06:13 | JVM exited while loading the application.

 

Changing the entry to

wrapper.java.additional.11=-Djava.util.logging.config.file="%KARAF_ETC%/java.util.logging.properties"

fixes the issue.

What irritates me still, ist the dot (".") between "etc" and "java.util...." in the log message, but as I said, the double quotes around the complete entry fixed it.

This is can happen under MS Windows if the Karaf service is installed below the default "C:\Program Files\..." directory.

We have not found a hint from the service wrapper documentation how to fix this via configuration.
