title: JBoss standalone.conf VS standalone.conf.bat
body: <p>I'm currently checking up on our <strong>JBoss AS7.1</strong> server configuration and I discovered these two previously-configured files in our <code>jboss/standalone/bin</code> directory:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>standalone.conf</li>
  <li>standalone.conf.bat</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now I'm interested in tweaking our <code>JAVA_OPTS</code> and both the config files have a location where the parameters are set. From a quick Google search I think <code>standalone.conf.bat</code> is the usual file for setting these. But I'm not sure what the standalone.conf file is doing here. Do I only need to modify <code>standalone.conf.bat</code> or is there any configuration ordering I should take note of when modifying these two files?</p>
