Server descriptors and IceBox descriptors may specify command-line options that the node will pass to the program at startup. As the node prepares to execute the server, it assembles the command by appending options to the server executable's pathname.
In XML, you define a command-line option using the option element:
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
{zcode:xml}
<server id="Server1" ...>
<option>--Ice.Trace.Protocol</option>
...
</server>
{zcode} |
The node preserves the order of options, which is especially important for Java servers. For example, JVM options must appear before the class name, as shown below:
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
{zcode:xml}
<server id="JavaServer" exe="java" ...>
<option>-Xnoclassgc</option>
<option>ServerClassName</option>
<option>--Ice.Trace.Protocol</option>
...
</server>
{zcode} |
The node translates these options into the following command:
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
{zcode}
java -Xnoclassgc ServerClassName --Ice.Trace.Protocol
{zcode} |
