How to read -Dname=value pair command line arguments

Hi
iam running one program called report.java as given below
compile:
javac report.java
run:
java report -Djava.path=home/arao/jaava1.5/bin
my problem is how to read name and value pair given in command line argument.
System.getProperty("java.path");//not working can anybody help how to read name and value
pair of -D option

If you put that string after the name of the class you are running, then it's a command line parameter. Your main() method can look at args[0] to see it. However it would be better if you just put it before the name of the class, where it's supposed to go if you want it to be treated as a system property.

How to pass a command line argument to a jsp file...

Hi guys,
I'm writing a jsp file in which I have some java codes. I want to pass some command line arguments to that jsp file. In other words, I have some files located somewhere on my C drive and I want to pass the path to these files to my jsp file. How can it be done? I have never done before.
Any suggestion will be very hepful...
Thanks....

I dont know if I truly understand your problem...
For instance, when you place the url of your jsp you can add, at the end some parameters. For example:
http://myserver/myapp/myjsp.jsp?MyParameter=C:\Temp\JavaTutorial.html
In your JSP, you can place this code on a scriplet to get the value:
String path = request.getParameter("MyParameter");
Hope it helps.

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 an exe created in LV8.0

Hi Friends,
I have Created an exe in LV8.0, which accepts the Folder path as input and executes.
I want to call this exe passing the parameter (i.e folder path in my case) from the command line argument. How to pass arguments to the exe ?
Generally we may be having different types of input parameters to a vi like numeric control, string, boolean etc..If we create an exe that needs three input parameters among which one is boolean, other is string and third is a numeric value.
How to pass these different types of input controls to the exe as parameters in command line at the same time?
Thanks and Regards,
SODLB

I don't have any experience with the 8.x application builder, but the 7.x one has a checkbox for passing the arguments to the executable.
As for reading them, there should be an example in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) which shows how to do this. If you want to pass multiple parameters, I suggest you use a structure similar to NAME=VALUE, so that you can parse each element to find the = and then use a case structure to decide what to do with the parameters. This allows your users to enter or not enter any of the switches.

How to run labview exe with command line

I would like to launch a labview exe with a command line.
I would like to get advice how to launch the Labview exe with giving values to the control parameters?
You can view the example where x,y are the controls
Solved!

There is a much more detailed guide here, which I reference below:
1. First you will enable it in the settings:
1. Open the properties for the application's build specification
2. Navigate to the Advanced category
3. Check the Pass all command line arguments to application box
To pass the command line arguments to the application and access them in your code follow the same steps as for LabVIEW 7.x.
2. Then you will use two hypens (--) to pass command line arguments to the VI.
When you launch LabVIEW or a stand-alone executable from the command line, you can pass user-defined arguments to the application. User-defined arguments start after two hyphens (– –) surrounded by spaces in the command line. For example, the following command line entry will launch LabVIEW 7.1 and open test.vi from the root of C:\ and pass 2 arguments, 1000 and sine:
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\LabVIEW.exe" "C:\test.vi" –– 1000 sine
You can also pass a command line argument directly to an EXE without launching LabVIEW, as long as the machine has the appropriate Run-Time Engine and necessary drivers. For example, if test.vi was built into an executable, it could be called as follows:
"<build directory>\test.exe" –– 1000 sine
3. Lastly, you will use a property node to wire them to your controls:
LabVIEW passes the arguments from the command line to the block diagram of the VI or EXE you launch. You can reference the arguments in the block diagram by using the Application:Command Line Arguments selection in a property node, as shown below.

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?

How to add command line arguments to shortcuts in the LV8.5.1 installer

I want to create multiple shortcuts to my LV program, each with different command line arguments.
I can do this manually.
I want the installer to generate these shortcuts.
I can add different shortcuts in de installer build specification, but I cannot add commandline arguments in the shortcuts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Rindert

Hello Forum,
Does anyone have any better data for this? I would also like to create an installer using Labview Project Explorer tool (Build Specification->Installer), and I have a need to create some shortcuts to some EXE's (VS.NET built, not LV) which need to have some arguments passed. I just verified that LV8.6 still does not seem to offer the option of passing arguments when creating shortcuts. Is this correct? Creating stub EXE's or batch files isn't a good option for my project, so I'd like to have someone confirm if LV installer tool can't create shortcuts w/ arguments before I fire up InstallShield.
Regards!

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used in vCSHB installation?

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used during the installation of vCSHB? Is it required in all types of deployments (PtoV, VtoV, PtoP)? Is it used to create the files that are put in the file share for the second node to use during vCSHB installation or is it only used during a vCSHB clone operation of a Physical to Physical deployment? Are these tools not used in some deployments?

You need Windows Server Backup installed on source and destination, and during the installation of vCSHB the installer will invoke the wbadmin (Windows Server Backup Utility) and will backup configuration and application data (application data is optimal but can decrease the sync time after installation of secondary node). On the secondary node you will need only run the vCSHB installer and everything will be restored.
Check this blog entry for some more info about some problems in P2P deployment: http://www.vcoportal.de/2013/12/vmware-vcenter-server-heartbeat-restore-on-a-second-node-a-journey/

Read in file name + path using command line arguments

Hi guys,
I am trying to use command line arguments to read in the name of two files. The code below works as long as the files are on the class path.
public class cmdLineArguments {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String xmlFile1 = args[0];
                String xmlFile2 = args[1];
          System.out.println ("\nXmlFile1: " + args[0] + "\nXmlFile2: " + args[1]);
}I would like to be able to read files that are not on the class path as well by entering their full path along with their names.
In other words, It works if I type:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs file1.xml file2.xmlbut not if I type:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlWould anyone please explain how I can edit the code to make it work? I guess I could take them both as a String, modify them manually (add a \ to it etc) but is there an easier way to do it? Even a reference to a tutorial, article etc about this would be very much appreciated.
Also, any idea why a code would compile and run fine in Eclipse but would create an error from command line?
Thanks a lot.

You need to learn about cmd.exe which is used to process the command line. The arguments passed to any program is the command line split at white space so your command line arguments of
c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlis turned into an array of
"c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml", "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"In other words instead of 2 arguments you actually have 6.
To get round this the file names need to be quoted
java cmdLineArgs "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"

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.
