I’ve run into an issue with the WebSphere 6.1 Connector for MyEclipse. I followed the directions for the MyEclipse WAS 6.0 Tutorial to set up my websphere connector and can successfully perform hot deploys on an EJB project. However when my application tries to start up a MDB that references the System Property configFilePath it always returns a Null. I’ve placed the argument -DconfigFilePath=C:\Path in the Application Servers >server1>Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine, so this system property should be available to all profiles associated with server1. My WebSphere Connector seems to be configured properly since the Start command will start WAS 6.1 and it is loading my applications associated with my MyEclipse profile. At first I thought this was an error with my WAS profiles, but when I run the startServer server1 command in <WAS_HOME>profiles\MyEclipse\bin from the command prompt…configFilePath is loaded up. In addition efforts to use the Optional program arguments to resolve this issue have proven unsuccessful. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eugene

Eugene,
Actually you will want to go to the “JDK” sub-preference node under the WAS 6.1 connector, and set it under the Optional VM Arguments (your -D argument). The optional program arguments are passed to the launch class of your app server, but you need to pass -D to the VM, not the launch class of WebSphere.

Riyad,

That did the trick, thank you for your quick response.

Hi Riyad,

I am also facing the same problem while accessing systemproperties. I have set them in Admin console but while retrieving through System.getProperty it returns null. I am using websphere 7 however I don’t see jdk sub preference option.

Can you please tell me how do I pass properties for Websphere 7

thanks,
Deepak
