-----------------------------------------

             Summary: bin/solr always fails if you attempt to use --jettyconfig 
(aka "-j")
                 Key: SOLR-17746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17746
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Chris M. Hostetter


The "-jettyconfig" optiona (aka "-j") is documented as...

{noformat}
  -j <jettyParams>      Additional parameters to pass to Jetty when starting 
Solr.
                          For example, to add configuration folder that jetty 
should read
                          you could pass: -j 
"--include-jetty-dir=/etc/jetty/custom/server/"
                          In most cases, you should wrap the additional 
parameters in double quotes.

{noformat}

..but if you actually attempt to run  use that example option, you will get an 
error...

{noformat}
./bin/solr start ... -j "--include-jetty-dir=/etc/jetty/custom/server/"

ERROR: Jetty config is required when using the -j option!
{noformat}

IIUC this is because the bash code for parsing this option requires that it not 
start with a "{{\-}}" character; but by definition any option you want to pass 
to jetty will start with "{{\--}}".

Attempting to workaround this problem by using two sets of quotes doesn't seem 
to work -- the inner quotes are passed verbatim to jetty which seems to prevent 
jetty from recognizing it as a valid option.

A workaround that *does* seem to work (in my limited testing) is to include a 
leading space character _inside_ the quotes...

{noformat}
./bin/solr start ... -j " --include-jetty-dir=/etc/jetty/custom/server/"
{noformat}

...because for some reason that does *NOT* seem to be passed verbatim.
