Adding a user to a WildFly server, results in error - wildfly

Question

I am trying to add a user to WildFly server but get an error:
./add-user.sh: 1: eval: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java/bin/java: not found
I suppose I need to change the JAVA_HOME location in a .conf file but have done so in the .conf files of the wildfly/bin directory. How can I solve this issue?

Answer 1

The add-user.sh script doesn't source any configuration file, so you have to provide the Java binary through your environment.
You can do this in multiple ways :
through a JAVA variable pointing to the java executable :
export JAVA=/path/to/jdk_install/bin/java
./add-user.sh [...]
through a JAVA_HOME variable pointing to the Java installation directory :
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk_install/
./add-user.sh [...]
by including the Java's installation bin directory to your PATH :
export PATH="/path/to/jdk_install/bin:$PATH"
./add-user.sh [...]
Note that these may vary depending on the WildFly or JBoss EAP version ; I gathered these from reading the script of a wildfly-8.1.0.Final installation.
If you're not sure this applies to your own version and if you have even the most basic understanding of shell scripts you should check your own : they're only a few dozens lines long and are well commented.

Answer 2

Your java path is wrong.
You can observe that in below line there is extra '/bin/java'. You should remove that.
./add-user.sh: 1: eval: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java/bin/java: not found
To do so, in your adduser.sh/.bat file replace
# Setup the JVM
if [ "x$JAVA" = "x" ]; then
if [ "x$JAVA_HOME" != "x" ]; then
JAVA="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
else
JAVA="java"
fi
fi
To
# Setup the JVM
if [ "x$JAVA" = "x" ]; then
if [ "x$JAVA_HOME" != "x" ]; then
JAVA="$JAVA_HOME"
else
JAVA="java"
fi
fi
This does the magic for me.
