Hi Christian, thanks Kendall,
The org.basex.path property is indeed doing the job here. Thanks!
One thing I noticed though (and it is not specific to Java, but related to calling the server and client from the command line), is that when using a new home directory (containing no .basex file), the server will always write PORT = 1984, even when passed the option -p12345:
# variables
home=`pwd`/basex-home
jar=/Library/Java/org/basex/basex-7.6.jar
prop=-Dorg.basex.path=$home
class=org.basex.BaseXServer
# create a new dir
mkdir $home
# start and stop the server
java -cp $jar $prop $class -p12345 &
sleep 2
java -cp $jar $prop $class -p12345 stop
# look into .basex
grep PORT $home/.basex
The last command return the following, showing the default
values:
PORT = 1984
SERVERPORT = 1984
EVENTPORT = 1985
PROXYPORT = 80
STOPPORT = 8985
Shouldn't it save the port number passed on the command line?
