daisy-repository-server.bat unrecognized options

[Vitaly.Sazanovich@…]

[jira2trac import : issue created on May 4, 2007 6:16:24 AM CEST ​http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/DSY-461 ]

When trying to start daisy-repository-server.bat I received Unrecognized options error messages from JVM.
Then I echoed:
D:\dist\daisy-2.0.1\repository-server\bin>daisy-repository-server D:\dist\daisy-2.0.1\daisydata\

Unrecognized option: -offline
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

I had to remove quotes (which were introduced to fix space problem I guess) and hard-code my java call. So finally the part of merlin.bat that works is:

echo "%JAVA%" "%MERLIN_SECURITY_POLICY%" %MERLIN_JVM_OPTS% %MERLIN_CMD_LINE_ARGS% -jar %MERLIN_BOOTSTRAP_JAR%
rem "%JAVA%" "%MERLIN_SECURITY_POLICY%" %MERLIN_JVM_OPTS% %MERLIN_CMD_LINE_ARGS% -jar %MERLIN_BOOTSTRAP_JAR%

I think the error is (more or less) on your side:
Inside your call you have the following:

"-Ddaisy.datadir=D:\dist\daisy-2.0.1\daisydata\"

However the daisy datadir should *not* end on a backslash, because the backslash on the escapes the double quote, thus resulting in the problem you are experiencing.

Maybe we should mention that "no ending backslash"-requirement on the documentation not only for the DAISY_HOME variable, but explicitely also for the paths to the data directories.

yep, seems like the only thing we can do is improve the docs, I would appreciate any help in that.

I gave that a second thought and eventually found a really easy solution for that. With the attached fix applied, all batch scripts will work no matter whether the path given for DAISY_HOME does or does not end with a backslash. The same is true for the arguments given to all the batch files used during the daisy installation.

nice fix!

applied in SVN rev 4025, removed the comment from the installation doc too.
