Custom keystore file always overwritten by open-liberty upon docker container startup about ci.docker

[arthurdm]

hey @jkjome - in the Docker image the output_dir is different than the config_dir (see this line) so it seems you are copying your key into the config dir, but your XML snippet points to the output dir..which causes OL to create a key for you.

I believe if you changed your XML snippet to be:

<server>
    <keyStore id="defaultKeyStore" location="${server.config.dir}/resources/security/key.jks" password="[my password]" type="JKS"/>
</server>

then it should work (noticed I changed output to config)

Thanks @arthurdm. It works now. Now I realize that my local desktop installation of open-liberty must set "WLP_OUTPUT_DIR" to the same as the config dir (or leave it unspecified). That's why it works there. I guess I'll start referencing ${server.config.dir} for both docker and non-docker config files to maintain consistency.
