<mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService"

Now i have installed the JBoss AS 7 server on my machine. How can I deploy or configure these properties AS 7?

Answer 1

System Properties can be set in the standalone.xml, host.xml or domain.xml files depending on whether you are running a standalone instance, or configuring a member of a managed domain. Check out the following JBoss community documentation links:

Answer 2

You can also configure properties using the -P={properties file} syntax, which is very useful. Then in any of the standalone.xml files, you can use ${your.property} type syntax.

i.e. in /bin you can run:

standalone.bat -P=mysettings.properties
