Hi Oliver,
I think it just works fine but you don't look at right place ;)
Actually, when you use the env variable, the config is updated in memory
but not in the file.
Let me illustrate this:
1. I have a config file etc/org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg containing:
org.osgi.service.http.port=8181
2. I set the env variable:
export ORG_OPS4J_PAX_WEB_ORG_OSGI_SERVICE_HTTP_PORT=8186
3. The file is not changed but if you take a look on the config it
actually uses 8186, as you can see in Karaf:
karaf@root()> config:list "(service.pid=org.ops4j.pax.web)"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pid: org.ops4j.pax.web
BundleLocation: mvn:org.ops4j.pax.web/pax-web-runtime/7.3.23
Properties:
felix.fileinstall.filename =
file:/home/jbonofre/Downloads/apache-karaf-4.3.5/etc/org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg
javax.servlet.context.tempdir =
/home/jbonofre/Downloads/apache-karaf-4.3.5/data/pax-web-jsp
org.apache.karaf.features.configKey = org.ops4j.pax.web
org.ops4j.pax.web.config.file =
/home/jbonofre/Downloads/apache-karaf-4.3.5/etc/jetty.xml
org.osgi.service.http.port = 8186
service.pid = org.ops4j.pax.web
So, you can check using config:list command in Karaf, it should be OK ;)
Regards
JB

Greetings,
I try to overwrite a configuration (Karaf 4.3.3) by using environment
variables like mentioned in the Karaf documentation:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/site/production/manual/latest/configuration.html
<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/site/production/manual/latest/configuration.html>
It works fine for simple names like `sshPort`, but fails when the
variable name is separated by dots.
Example:
Config file:
[karaf]/etc/org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg
Configuration to overwrite in file:
org.osgi.service.http.port = 8181
Set environment variable:
export ORG_OPS4J_PAX_WEB_ORG_OSGI_SERVICE_HTTP_PORT=8186
This does not set the new value. Something I'm doing wrong? Or maybe it
looks for a file called `org.ops4j.pax.web.org.osgi.service.http.cfg` to
set/overwrite 'port'?
All the best,
Oliver
