sed syntax error
Hi,

In the following excerpt of shell script code: I could not understand the sed syntax. Could anyone shed some light on this?

Code:
configure_ssl()
{
    jboss_conf_file=$1
    echo "Configuring SSL for -" ${jboss_conf_file}

    isSSLSetup=`echo cat ${jboss_conf_file} | grep <Connector port=\"${jboss_ssl_port}\"`
    echo "isSSLSetup - " ${isSSLSetup}
    if [ -z ${isSSLSetup} ];then
        echo " Connector already present. Existing..."
    else

    sed -e "/.*<Connector port=\"8080\"/ { \
\
<Connector port=\"${jboss_ssl_port}\"  address=\"$\{jboss.bind.address\}\" \
\
maxThreads=\"100\" minSpareThreads=\"5\" maxSpareThreads=\"75\" \
\
scheme=\"https\" secure=\"true\" clientAuth=\"false\" \
\
keystoreFile=\"${keystore_file}\" \
\
sslProtocol=\"TLS\" /> \
};" -i ${CONTROL_PANEL_REPOS_DIR}${jboss_conf_file}

  fi
#    sed -e "/.*<Connector port=\"8080\"/ { <Connector port=\"${jboss_ssl_port}\"  address=\"$\{jboss.bind.address\}\" maxThreads=\"100\" minSpareThreads=\"5\" maxSpareThreads=\"75\" scheme=\"https\" secure=\"true\" clientAuth=\"false\" keystoreFile=\"${keystore_file}\" sslProtocol=\"TLS\" /> };" -i ${CONTROL_PANEL_REPOS_DIR}${jboss_conf_file}

    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	    echo "SSL was setup successfully for -" ${jboss_conf_file}
    else
	    echo "SSL setup failed for -" ${jboss_conf_file}
    fi
}

I think you misunderstand sed a bit. You need an s command to change lines.
Code:
sed -i '
s/<Connector port="8080"/<Connector port="'"${jboss_ssl_port}"'"  address="'"${jboss.bind.address}"'" maxThreads="100" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="75" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" keystoreFile="'"${keystore_file}"'" sslProtocol="TLS"/
' "${CONTROL_PANEL_REPOS_DIR}/${jboss_conf_file}"

I prefer single quotes and slip out to double quotes just for variables. I keep my shell script and my sed script on different lines. Generally, -e is not needed.

I'd say /<Connector port="8080"/ is meant to be an address, followed by an { } block. What escapes me is the meaning of the rest. Could you please post input and output to give us a hint?
