Looking for pfi command line arguments.

Hey,
I've read through all documentation but can't find a list of all available command line arguments for pfi. the pfi -help does not list any options for me. Does anyone have a link to a list or is there some way to get the -help argument to output the list?
Thanks,
Jonas

Below mentioned pdf has some info on the command line args of pfi under the heading Creating an iPhone application installer file from the command line

DP Execution-Execute a DP without supplying value for command line argument

DP Execution - How to execute a DP without supplying value for a command line argument?
My requirement is like Directive should have an optional command line argument.
i.e., even if the value is not supplied for the command line arg, my DP should run.
Your help is appreciable.

What is DP?

Documenting command line arguments

I'm very new to javadoc, and I'm trying to put together a set of guidelines for our developers to follow. One thing I came accross was command line arguments. If a main function is expecting command line arguments, how would this be documented, should @param be used? I didn't see anything about this in the guidelines sun has posted. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is my own personal opinion, so don't treat it as a "fact", but I don't think Javadoc is best suited for specifying command line arguments. You could do the following:
* Description of main() here...
* @param args First parameter = xxx, Second parameter = yyy;
public static void main(String[] args)
}In this way you can specify all command-line parameters that are required in order to make the appliction run.
BUT...
Javadoc is meant more to be a programmatic guide to how to allow Java classes to interoperate. Java classes (mostly) will not care at all what the command-line parameters to the main invocation are. That is information that is only really needed to be known by the application executor at runtime.
Therefore, for all my apps, I do the following to comment what types of parameters should be passed to the invocation of the application:
* My App comments...
* @param args Run application without any parameters to see list of all necessary command-line parameters.
public static void main(String[] args)
   if (args.length < 1)
      System.out.println("This application allows the following parameters:");
      System.out.println("   Param#1 = xxx, <description>");
      System.out.println("   Param#2 = yyy, <description>");
      System.exit(0);
}In this way, you do not clutter up the Javadoc APIs (used for classwise interaction) with command-line parameters, but the command-line parameters are still specified by "documentation" (running the application without any parameters).
If parameters are optional, instead of mandatory, you could do something similar...
* Documentation...
* @param args Run -h as first flag for list of all optional parameters.
public static void main(String[] args)
   if ((args.length > 0) && (args[0].equals("-h"))
      // Print out all possible parameters.
}Anyway, this system has held me in good stead for the last couple of years.

Need Help with command line arguments for a class method

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its command line arguments which are numbers. For example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the output would be 10.
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a string to a double. I'm ok for writing the class method but I have no idea how to use Convert and why I need it in the method.
Can anybody help please?

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its
command line arguments which are numbers. For
example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the
output would be 10.Okay. So you would receive the numbers to add as the String[] argument to a main method. The steps are simple:
1) declare a variable for the count
2) for each String in the array:
2.1) extract the value as a double
2.2) add this to the count
3) output the resulting count
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a
string to a double.
I'm ok for writing the class
method but I have no idea how to use ConvertThere is no class Convert in the Java API.
and why
I need it in the method. Do you understand you need to somehow convert each String to a double (step 2.1)? Since Convert is unknown to me, maybe you should just take a look at class Double. It can help you do step 2.1, the rest should be trivial enough.

Give it a go and feel free to post back with a specific problem you are having, accurately described if you please :-)

Setting Command Line Arguments for my Class

               System.out.println(" type java BMsearch -help for all Options");
     }//end MAINThis is takem from one of my command line classe (a Boyer Moore Pattern-Matching application from an exercise). I don't know if this is the best way, but thats what I have done there for passing some arguments, where the order of them isn't pre-given (you can pass the params in the order you want).
The CAPITAL vars are pre-defined final Strings holding the param-names, e.g.
public static final String ONE_PATERN = "-p";
public static final String PATERNLIST = "-plist";
public static final String PATERNFILE = "-pfile";Another trick sometimes used in Linux/Unix, if you have only false/true combinations, are numbers from pow 2 (2,4,8,16). In C they are used because of the binary representation, but it has some benefits. E.g. a value of 2 (0010) and another true set on 4 (0100) results binary in 6 (0110), so you can mix parameters in only one value, and with a byte - array you could check, if the flag for a given param is set. But this way is a little tricky for the end-user.

Sending varargs via command line arguments to main()

When I put A B C D in the command line arguments textbox in my compiler, the output is as expected: A B C D. However, when I put *new String[]{A, B, C, D}*, the output is *new String[]{A, B, C, D}*, not A B C D as I had expected. My code is below. Any suggestions?
package varargs;
public class Varargs {
    static void printArray(Object...args){
        for (Object obj : args)
            System.out.print(obj + " ");
        System.out.println();
    public static void main(String...args) {
        printArray((Object[])args);
}

The argument(s) that is/are supplied to your main method will be rendered as literal String constants. It looks like you are attempting to use java code as one of your arguments with the expectation that the program will interpret this code. It won't. Your program will simply display whatever it is given even if what you offer as an argument happens to be a construct of the Java language.

Connection string not in the command line argument.

Hi,
I found myself constantly looking for the debug connection string and to enter it in the "Command line arguments". I decided to create my Add-On base class from which all my add-ons inherit from.
In the constructor of the base Add-On class I determine the connection string based on whether the code is in debug more or not.
Example:
string connectionString = string.Empty;
#if DEBUG
    _connectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056";
#else
    // Get the log info
    if (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length > 1 )
        _connectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
#endif
I hope this help.

Filenames as Command Line Arguments: How?

i need to create a program that involves taking in a file name as command line argument, reads the file and then displays its contents on the screen. it needs to work with any file with a .txt extension.
The only thing i dont fully understand is how to read the file name as a command line argument e.g.
"java FileReaderApp myfile.txt
----contents of file--------
Thanks in advance
Carl
P.S. I have lready read the various helps, utils etc for java and still dont really understand

Okay, first, it will help if you don't think of "filenames as command line args." The two concepts are totally independent.
Command line args are Strings. What you do with those Strings is up to you. Processing the command line args is the same, regardless of whether they represent file names or the turnons of the last 50 playmates.
The args array below contains the command line args.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// do stuff
} Files are generally referred to using the java.io.File. It takes a String for the file name. It doesn't matter where the String comes from.
Look at FileReader and BufferedReader to actually read the contents of the file.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html

How to hide the command line arguments from solaris process

Hi All,
When I execute a JAR application from a java file using the Runtime.getRuntime, the command line arguments (user ID and Password details) which I passed for executing the application displayed on Solaris process (ps -ef).
Could anybody please help me, how can I hide either the process or the command line arguments from the Solaris process?
I cannot pass any asterix or any special character in place of password, because the executing application doesn't have any functionality to retreive the password which send as asterix characters.
Please help me
SumodeV

Thanks for all the response.
I have created a design and implement the functionality which executes the JAR application in Solaris environment without showing any details in the process details.
I have used the Java Reflection method, which invokes the JAR application. I am sharing the details here for all those who looking for it.
1, Inside the Customer application [Jar File is running for it], collect the necessary session details [Using System.get property method]
2, Create an independent Java file, which should be used to invoke the JAR application
3, Create the ProcessBuilder object and use a command - execute the Java file [a wrapper code] using normal Java command
4, Pass the necessary session details to the ProcessBuilder using the environment() function.
5. Collect the environment values in the independent Java file (Which was invoked by ProcessBuilder) and set details for its environment using System.setProperty.
6, Use reflection technique to invoke the JAR plugin [which you want to run]. You can use the standard Java functionality to read the MANIFEST file of JAR and load the main class using URLClassLoader.
7, Invoke the main method of the JAR file, which run the JAR application in Solaris window
This solution will make sure that the process cannot display any session details in the Solaris Environment.
Note: Use String[] array while create the command. Otherwise the JAR application cannot pop-up.

How to pass command line arguments to Web Start appclient?

Hi,
I would like to pass arguments to appclient, but "javaws" unable to do that.
Do I have to overwrite the JNLP? I use Sun Appserver 9.0, it creates JNLP on the fly!!!
Please help, thanx!
MB

Hi, MB.
If you are talking about the automatic Java Web Start support for launching app clients in GlassFish, you can pass the equivalent of command line arguments using the query string of the URL you use to launch the app client.
Briefly, use
http://host:port/client-path?arg=first-arg&arg=second-arg& ...
specifying the argument values in the order that you want them passed to the client.
The GlassFish server will do the right thing and generates the correct JNLP so your arguments are passed to the app client.
The GlassFish developer's guide http://glassfish.dev.java.net/nonav/javaee5/docs/AS91DG.pdf discusses this and all aspects of the Java Web Start support. You can also take a look at this blog entry http://blogs.sun.com/quinn/entry/command_line_arguments_and_properties that focuses on how to pass arguments.
Since this technique deals with argument passing in the URL, it works no matter how you launch the app client: a URL in a browser, the javaws command, etc.

Command line arguments with a Labview pda application

Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of writing some Labview code to run on a PDA that is called from another vendor's software. When called, I need to pass some information to it (in the form of an integer) and then return an error code when it has finished its task (again, as an integer).
Not being able to compile a my application as a labview dll for to run on a PDA with Windows Mobile 2003, I was hoping to be able to pass command line arguments to my program when compiled as an executable. This doesn't seem to be possible.
Could someone please confirm that Labview PDA applications do not support command line arguments?
Any suggestions on how to meet my objective would be most welcome .
Regards,
Mark

Paolo,
Thanks for your input: storing this information in a text file is a choice we are looking at. But it does leave us with the problem that the vendor's software will not necessarily know when our program has finished running, unless it continuously polls the file to see if there has been any update.
A dll would be ideal. I was hoping there might be a clever way of emulating this.
Regards,
Mark.

Automate Discoverer 4.1 install; Any command line arguments?

I'm working on automating the install of Discoverer 4.1 for use within my company. Does the setup.exe or orainst.exe take any command line arguments? Can it be configured for a default and silent install? Similiar to .msi? or Installshield setup.exes?
Please provide any command lines or arguments or a resource for these.
Thanks,
Chris

I have added the needed languages to Windows, and I
can produce the foreign characters using the keyboard.You can produce the characters in a command console window?
But when I pass strings containing those foreign chars
as command line arguments to a Java application, the
chars are replaced with question marks (\u003f) when I
get them using the args array.
You see the question marks on the console window? Did you actually look at the char value to confirm that the value is 0x003f? Sometimes a font problem will cause ? to display even though the underlying character is still being sent to the console or GUI component.
For instance, in a English Windows XP, I set the input
language to be Japanese. Then, I call my simple
application, which echoes the unicode code for each
char in each command line argument, as well as the
file.encoding, user.region and user.language
properties.
Windows has a couple of active charsets at any point in time: the file and console code page (OEM charset) and its GUI charset (ANSI charset). The file.encoding property reports the ANSI charset, not the OEM charset used in the console and file system.
Try this: set your "system" locale to Japanese as well. This will force the console charset to be 932 as well. Type "chcp" on the console to check what windows thinks the charset is.

Using Command Line Arguments with JAVA

Hi,
we are using an app called ImageMagick to scale and modify images before they are uploaded to a webserver.
ImageMagick is called from our Objectiv-C app via
command line.
is there a way to this in Java?
Regards
Eckbert

So, ur question is not developing a Java application that
will do the 'image conversion'; but, your message
conveys that u want to know how to invoke a Java program built by 'imagemagick' that takes command line arguments?
Am I right?
If that's the case, u must look into the documentation
given along with the download'ed piece of software
for identifying the 'starting point of the program'. i.e., the
class that contains the 'main' method! And after you
identify that class [Eg. ImageMagickStart] then you'll
have to invoke as follows:
[you must have Java installed in ur system!]
c:>java ImageMagickStart
If the program was written intelligently it must print all
the command-line arguments required by the above
program by executing the above command, and from that
you can identify!

Command Line Variables Usage:
          Command line variables are specified using <name=value>; for example:
              [ session: | session:compName: | session:compName:version: ]variableName=" valueOfVariable"]
          Installer variables are specified using:
              varName=value
              Ex: ORACLE_HOME=<value>
          OUI Session variables are specified using:
              session:varName=value
              Ex: session:VARIABLE_NAME=<value>
          OUI Component variables are specified using:
              session:compInternalName:[Version:]varName
              Ex 1: session:oracle.comp1:1.0.1:varName=<value>
              Ex 2: session:oracle.comp1:varName=<value>
              The lookup order is compInternalName:Version:varName, then compInternalName:varName
do anyone had any idea on this.
Thanks a lot,
RR.

try checking relevant environment variables like the CLASSPATH.... a major source of failures in Windows is when in the classpath there is a path containing SPACES.... also enabling some "debug" or "verbose" flag (not sure how to do it) would provide more insight...

Jay,
Your question isn't very clear, hence Joerg's well meaning but irrelevant advise.
Do you mean:
I've written a simple program in java which echos
it's command-line arguments to back to the console.
Here's my code:
package forums;
public class ArgsEchoer
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (String arg : args) {
System.out.println(arg);
But can't figure out how to compile and run the program.
I'm using winblows shista, and it's cr@p.
Please help me, Thanks in advance.So... where are you at? Have you installed the JDK (java development kit)? Which version? Is your path set? Is your classpath set?
