Command line arguments to Captive Runtime Air App

I am having problems passing command line arguments to my Captive Runtime Air App on Mac OS X. Argument handling occurs perfectly when running in ADL, via the InvokeEvent.INVOKE event. However, when running the native executable, it seems that no command line arguments are getting passed through.
How do I pass command line arguments into my Captive Runtime Air App?

See:
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-24993
"Native packaging: native launcher should pass command line parameters to the app"
fixed for jdk7u10
jdk7u10 is downloadable from here:
http://jdk7.java.net/download.html
It may take a week or two for the fix to propagate into there.

How do I associate a captive-runtime AIR app with a filetype on OSX, without breaking codesigning?

The documentation from both Adobe and Apple says that it is required to change the Info.plist file in order to associate an app with a filetype
However, one is also required to codesign the app in order to pass through OSX's Gatekeeper security restrictions.
How can I get pass this problem? If I codesign from within AIR, and then change the Info.plist in the exported bundle, won't it break the codesigning?

Have you tried using NativeApplication.nativeApplication.setAsDefaultApplication(extension:String) method?
According to the documentation:
"Sets this application as the default application for opening files with the specified extension.
Note: This method can only be used with file types declared in the fileTypes statement in the application descriptor."
I used it successfully in the past when creating a video player app for Mac/Windows that became the default for FLVs and F4Vs, but it was before captive runtime was available so Im not sure if that makes a difference or not. Also not sure how this affects code-signing but might as well give it a shot if you havent tried it or if you know it wont break anything. If you are using Flash CS6 or CC, just remember to add the file extension(s) you want to associate under AIR Settings -> Advance -> Associated file types. Not sure how Flash Builder handles those settings.

How to pass command line arguments to JWS app

Hi,
I want to pass command line arguments to my JWS application. However those arguments are dynamic (eg the username of the user who launched the app) and thus I can not use the argument tag of JNLP file. So what do I need to do in this case?
Thanks.

Well, if it's the username on your server systems you should probably include it in the jnlp: can pass it in the url, write once and remove jnlp href attribute, etc.., etc.. (a quick tour of this forum should suffice).
If it's the OS username you should be able to retrieve it through system properties.
Whatever it is, passing dynamic arguments means launching javaws through a shell or a shell script (bat if running on windows), so you won't be able to launch through autogenerated desktop and menu shortcuts.
Anyway, you have two solutions:
Clean one: associate an extension to your app and write those infos in a file named after that extension.
Dirty one (always seen it work, but there's no warranty): javaws -open whateverParamYouLike yourAppURL.jnlp, will pass to your main method '-open' as args[0] and '+whateverParamYouLike+' as args[1]. I gotta admin I used it, but I had the most peculiar reason (my app needed another instance on a different JRE aware of being a secondary instance at startup time).
Bye.
PS: I'd really love dukes ;-)

Thanks a lot,

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...

Obtaining command line arguments

Can someone point me at an example of how to obtain command
line arguments from inside my Flex application? I want to have my
Flex application perform different tasks when it is launched with
different command line arguments, for example:
myApp.exe 1
myApp.exe 2
myApp.exe 3
How is that done in a Flex app?
TIA,
Steve

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.

Burrito - can't set 'command line arguments' (mobile)

Hi all,
The option to set command line arguments in the "Run/Debug Settings" - "Launch Configurations" dialog disappears when a new "Flex Mobile AIR Project" is created.
I am developing APKs that are launched via Intents from other Android apps; setting arguments for testing in the IDE would improve the workflow that now requires me to deploy to the device for testing. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,

Put the command into a file with execute permissions, including whatever command-line arguments you want. For instance, the file might contain the following:
#! /bin/bash
xpdf -g 1200x900 -z width -cont "$1"
In Firefox preferences, under "Applications," locate the appropriate Content Type and in the Action menu, select "Use other..." and then locate the executable file you just created and select it.
In UNIX-type operating systems at least, available options to the command can be found using the "man" command (e.g. "man xpdf" for the example above).

Solaris 10 command-line argument to /etc/init.d/apache

Does anyone know how to control the command-line argument sent to /etc/init.d/apache that ships with Solaris 10 11/06?
# svcs *\apache\*
shows Solaris is running Apache 1.3 as a legacy service with the FMRI lrc:/etc/rc3_d/S50apache.
According to Sun documenation ("How to Modify a Command-Line Argument for an inetd Controlled Service" <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o5ss?a=view>), one should be able to make desired changes using the inetadm command. The problem is,
# inetadm
doesn't show anything at all related to apache or httpd. I thought about changing the inittab file, but Sun's comments in the file pretty much say "hands off."
I'm trying to have Apache SSL enabled at boot time (i.e. argument startssl instead of start). As a temporary hack, I've edited apachectl so that the "start" argument is processed like "startssl."
Thanks!

The script is running from the above file (/etc/rc3.d/S50apache).
That's normally apache 1.x. If you do 'svcs -a', you'll see disabled services as well, which will include the apache 2.x server.

Neither version of apache runs from inetd. Are you interested in apache 1.x or apache 2.x?

Pass dynamic Command line arguments

Hi,
I tried to pass dynamic command line argument to Web start using the method :
"javaws URL -D foo -D bar"
as explained in the "Unofficial JWS/JNLP FAQ" that " You can pass your own system properties to your app using -D switch ....", but I got the following error at the start;
error occurred while launching/running the application.
Category: Invalid Argument error
Too many arguments supplied: {http://...URL/my.jnlp, -Did=123 }
p.s. I already added the"<property name='' value=''/> in the <resourse>, and modified the main class to get the parameter using System. getProperty();
Did anyone try to this method before? What's wrong of this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks.
here below is the jnlp file:
<jnlp spec="1.0+" href="$$name" codebase="$$codebase">

<description>PS GUI WebStart Version</description>
<icon href="logo.jpg" />

and in the main class "GUIFrame", i use System.getProperty("id") t get the parameter, if I hardcode the value of the "id" in this jnlp file and use javaws URL, everything's fine, but not the "javaws URL -Did=value" which will return the error as mentioned.
Thanks again for your help.

Command line arguments

Hey there,
I have a program that uses a command line argument at runtime to get a txt file which is then loaded into my program.
c:\>java FileName infile.txt
I want to catch what args[0] is so I can print the file name the user entered to the screen when the program is running(so grab the infile.txt). Does anyone know what object I use to do this? Have I made sense?
Thanks
Dave

Yeah I didn't realise I could use args[] like a string
(first time using args you see....)
but in my print statement I put ("Reading " ++
args[0]) ionstead of
("Reading " + args[0])
amazing the smallest thing the greatest stress :)You're not using "args" like a string
this code:
class EchoArgs{
public static void main(String[] args)
//args is a String array.
for(int j=0; j<args.length;j++)
System.out.println("args["+j+"] is:"+args[j]);
}Would simply echo each arg on its own line back...
But either way...all args passed from the Command line ARE strings.
(arg[0] is the first string of the string array, etc..)
Good ,luck,
Dave

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.

Sumode

How to run a command line argument

i want to run a command line argument, say for eg......i want to execute the "dir" command on the dos prompt and capture the output.
how can i do this.
actually i want to capture the output of the ping command and write it to a file. can any body plsssssss help

This command runs a ping to "address" and writes the output back to the command line. To capture it, just put strings into an array or do whatever you want with it. If you want to wait until the program completes before reading its input, use p.waitFor().
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ping " + address);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String currLine = null;
while((currLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("ping: " + currLine);

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.

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!
