MQSeries.net :: View topic - JRE command line options (need to add a -Dmyvariable= )

Is there a way of adding a JRE OPTS line to the JRE launcher in MB 6.1 ?

I require to access a JAVA system property inside my java code.

Lets say, its called 'PID' (because it is!).

so, if it was a regular java program I'd execute it thus:

java -DPID=$$ myprog.class

So - how can I add the '-DPID=$$' to the MB JRE launcher so that the JRE knows about my java system variable ?

Note: I know I could setProperty in java, etc, etc... however this is not an option here because:

1) it would mean changing code depolyed - I am looking for a no code change fix.

2) Thw whole point of this is to pass the PID in - so it has to be on the command line (and yeh - I know I could access this from java - again - it has to be no code change fix)

atb,
