Merged idea

This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit TWAS-I-148 Set Liberty Working Directory.

settings WLP_OUTPUT_DIR also changes the jvm current working dir Merged

default jvm cwd is set to the directory where the server profile is located.

Setting the WLP_OUTPUT_DIR modifies the location which the server will use for its outputs, however it also changes the cwd of the jvm.

As a result, loading ressources using relative paths from an application is not really an option especially in a production environment where RO and RW partitions are usually separated.

We believe that as in WebSphere traditional where the jvm cwd is clearly distinguished from the output dir and set appart, this behaviour should similar for a greater flexibility
