Question

in EAP7, we have set system variable jboss.server.data.dir repeatedly (various ways) and it seems to be set, but we are still getting this error:

16:54:06,015 INFO  [org.wildfly.extension.undertow] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 100) WFLYUT0021: Registered web context: /stop
16:54:06,062 ERROR [io.undertow.servlet] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 98) Unable to initialize LoadCompanyIdsContext: java.io.FileNotFoundException: ${jboss.server.data.dir}/etc/companyIds.xml (No such file or directory)

(many more of these follow) Even though, that XML file is there!
