Forcing Servoy Server to run on a specific java version

Classic Servoy
1

Hi Guys,

I have a stupid problem which most probably have a very straightforward answer but I fail to find the answer. I have a windows machine running windows 7 64bit. The machine has got a few different versions of java installed on it. When I type java -version in the command prompt, I see the java version installed is java 1.8. I have a servoy server on this machine which sees java 1.8 on this machine. I need to force my server server to run on java 1.7 that is also installed on this machine instead of java 1.8. I know this can be done in the developer by modifying the servoy.ini file and pointing to the java version that you require the developer to run on, but I can’t find a way to do the same thing for the server?

Can anyone please tell me, how this can be done?

If you are running it as a windows service, you can do this by changing this line in application_server/service/wrapper.conf

wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\java.exe

When running from servoy_server.bat, you can change this line:

if "%CMD_LINE_CHANGED%"=="" set CMD_LINE_START="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\java" -server

Thanks Ruben,

I’ve got it working. I was setting the wrapper.java.command to one of my java installations and it was failing to start the service for some reason, tried it with another java installation and it worked.
