EAP Windows Service won't start with VM arg which contains spaces.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • EAP 5.1 installed on a Windows 2003 test server as Windows service using the Native components and it has been working fine. 
  • When attempted to add some additional VM arguments including the following line:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% "-Dcom.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.pool.protocol=plain ssl"

  • Added the above option in the run.conf.bat file.  If I then start the server with the run.bat file  (manually) everything works fine and I see VM arguments have been utilized. 
  • If however weI try and start server as a Windows Service we get a message from Windows saying the service started and then stopped.

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.x
