Description johannes.geiger 2016-09-14 13:28:32 UTC 
When configuring Wildfly via standalone.xml one can use default properties directly provided by Wildfly (e.g. "jboss.server.config.dir") and/or invent custom properties (e.g. "org.example.project.datasource.name") instead of hard-coded values. The custom properties can be provided via two possibilities: Via explicitely named command line parameters or a properties file given via command line parameter.

As of Netbeans 8.1 one can not specifiy the actual command to run Wildfly with, one is unable to provide a Wildfly with custom properties (standalone.bat -Dorg.example.project.datasource.name=test or standalone.sh --properties=test.properties).
Comment 1 ehsavoie 2016-09-14 13:30:11 UTC 
You can by passing them as the JVM arguments when editing the server configuration
Comment 2 ehsavoie 2016-09-14 13:30:31 UTC 
not properties file though
Comment 3 johannes.geiger 2016-09-14 13:38:54 UTC 
OK, thanks for the clarification, I tried the properties file, failed and discontinued testing.
Comment 4 ozinder 2016-10-10 11:08:35 UTC 
I need this too to have multiple instances of wildfly running from netbeans.
Comment 5 ehsavoie 2016-10-10 15:03:40 UTC 
Currently (aka 8.2) you can have as many wildfly instances as you want
Comment 6 ozinder 2016-10-11 08:14:20 UTC 
It's true, that I can have mutliple instances, but these share the same base folder. You can name a different base using a parameter for standalone.bat. This would start wildfly correctly, but NB would not recognize the changed position of the files.

I think it's better to provide a way to specify base folder in the server configuration and use it within NB.
