Passing arguments into main program using eclipse

If I want to pass a file into my Main program using "file redirection" I would do the following when running my program from the command prompt:
C:\ MainProgram < inputfile.txt
How do I do this using Eclipse SDK(WinXP)? I have investigated the options for passing in "Program Arguments" and still can't figure it out. Can anyone please help? What do I type in the Program Arguments text box?
Thank you,
Mark

Well, input redirection is a shell thing, so Eclipse may not support it like that. (Maybe it does, somehow, but if it does it's just aping shell behavior for convenience.)
What I'd suggest, is to create an option to your program to read a specified file. Maybe something like
MainProgram -input intputfile.txt
Then give that as an argument in Eclipse.
If this is for testing purposes, another option is to create a test class, and hardcode the filename in there.

How to pass argument in main function ?

How to pass arguments in main function of one class from another class ?
I don't want to pass argument from command prompt.
I want to try something like this -
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
     System.out.println(args);
class Fun{
public static void main(String args[]){
     Test t=new Test("Hello","good bye");
when i run Fun class it gives error.
Suggest me how can i do that.

In Fun class main method does not take arguments that is fine. In Test class instead of main method you can have constructor to take input parameters as suggested by BalusC
However, if you want to make your existing code work, you can call (though not appropriate) main() method of Test class from main() method of Fun class (As main() method is static object is not required to invoke this):
Test.main(new String[]{"Hello","good bye"});Here is your code:
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
System.out.println(args);
public class Fun{
public static void main(String args[]){
//Test t=new Test("Hello","good bye");
Test.main(new String[]{"Hello","good bye"});

Trying to pass arguments into a method call and failing

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to programming, and newer to Java. I'm currently working on a project that pulls fields from a database based on a name, and I'm having some trouble getting the connection string set up.
Statically defined, the database connects and the program logic that follows works just fine. The problem is that to future-proof this application, I need to pass the database URL, port, db instance, username, and password into the program as arguments from the batch file that will then be scheduled to run the program on a job-by-job basis.
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.1 (Build 200805300101)

Here's my current working source (with the network addresses obfuscated):

        Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
        Date date = new Date(); //get the system date for output to both the error log and the DB's lastrun field
        System.out.println(date); //print the date out to the console
        System.out.println(args[0]); //print the job name to the console
        String sourcefolder=""; //we're going to load the job source folder into this variable based on the job's name
        String destfolder="";//same with this variable, except it's going to get the destination folder
        try {
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM myschema.jobs WHERE NAME =\'"+args[0]+"\'");
            while ( rs.next() ) {
                sourcefolder = rs.getString("sourcefolder");
                destfolder = rs.getString("destfolder");
            stmt.executeQuery("UPDATE myschema.jobs SET lastrun ='"+date+"' WHERE name ='"+args[0]+"'");//put this after hyp code
//            System.out.println(sourcefolder);
//            System.out.println(destfolder);
//            System.out.println(description);
            stmt.close(); //close up the socket to prevent leaks
        }catch(SQLException ex){
            System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
            logError(args[0], ex.getMessage());
}That works, and it connects to the database and everything. But when I pass the variables in from the project properties run settings, I get the following exception:

Perhaps it's the way I'm escaping the quotation marks, but I put that same line inside a System.out.println() and it output it exactly as I had typed it in statically before, so I don't know what it could be.
I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance for your time.

I think you're mixing up SQL and Java. The Java method expects the user name and password as separate parameters, not encoded in one String. So you shouldn't be concatenating args[9] and args[10] at all, they should remain as separate parameters.
The call should be:DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + args[6] + ":"+ args[7] + ":" + args[8], args[9], args[10]);
                                                 parameter 1                                  2         3

Passing arguments to VBScript Program Object - Without WScript.Arguments?

I am trying to create a program object with a VBScript that will change the name of a PDF created by a scheduled report. I need to be able to tack on the string "OH_2010_Qtr_1" (or whatever state - OH is used as an example) before the file extension - the VBScript creates that string based on the date the report is run. I want to be able to pass parameters to this script but when I try to do so I get the error "Variable is undefined 'WScript'" when trying to run the program object. I tried creating a batch file that would pass in the parameters and I get a generic error.
How can I pass arguments to my VBScript? The arguments are necessary because this is for multiple instances of the same report, run for different states.

For VBScript Program Objects, some injected objects:
For Each arg in Script.Args
' Do something interesting with String arg here
Script.Writeln(arg) ' Output to stdout
Next
and
' Get InfoStore
Set infoStore = Session.Service("", "InfoStore")
Sincerely,

Passing argument to main

If i pass hi java as an argument to main then it is taken as two seperate argument with hi as first and java as second because of space between hi and java.
How do i pass hi java as one argument itself

That depends on the enviroment you start your java program from.
Some shells support besides "hi java" also 'hi java' or
hi\ java
for this purpose.

Passing arguments to main method from a shell script

The main method of my class accept more than 10 arguments so my shell script execute this class like this :
java -cp xxxx mypackage.MyClass $*
The problem is that some of those arguments allows spaces. When i execute this script like this :
myscript.sh firstparam secondparam ...... tenthparm "eleventh param"
or
myscript.sh firstparam secondparam ...... tenthparm 'eleventh param'
the java class consider that my eleventh param is 'eleven' and not 'eleventh param'
The same class works well with an equivalent dos script.

I had this problem once also, and I found there are several ways to fix it. One way is to replace all of the spaces in the arguments with _ characters, or you can concantate all of the arguments into one String at runtime (with spaces in between) and use code to separate the arguments out. With the quotation marks, this code would be simple. If the spaces in one argument are used to divide different parts of the argument, just make them spearate arguments.

Pass argument to main's method

I'm newbie to JDeveloper. Now I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3. Could I set the IDE to prompt for input to main's argument as Eclipse and JBuilder do?
Thanks a lot.

OK lets say the arg to main was an array of ints. Then how would I execute a program that needed some String values as parameters?
If it is an array of Strings and your program needed ints as parameters, you can always parseInt the String values in the array.
Somebody else will probably be able to pull something out of the JLS that explains it.

Hi..,
any way u r executing the programs in the same session but between diff. internal sessions u can use the IMPORT and EXPORT options ( ABAP MEMORY )
or do one thing...
<b>In the first program Copy these fields into a file in the <b>application server</b>,, and in the Second submit program u retrieve these variable values from the Application server file into these two variables!!</b>
just now i have solved one of the issues of this Kind by using an Application server file.
In the first program..
IF ( uf_instn = 'ACEFR' and uf_messg <> 'BSP' ).
OPEN dataset 'FILE' for output in text mode encoding default.
transfer lf_jobname to 'FILE'.
transfer gf_jobcount to 'FILE'.
CLOSE dataset 'FILE'.
ENDIF.
and instead of using the GET parameters in the second program ..
OPEN dataset 'FILE' for input in text mode encoding default.
read dataset 'FILE' into v_jobname.
read dataset 'FILE' into v_jobcount.
CLOSE dataset 'FILE'.
This has solved my problem !!!!! hope this helps u also!!

Pass parameters into SessionEventListener by using ConnectionPolicy

Hi,
My project is using Eclipselink/JPA with Oracle VPD. I have to pass some parameters into SessionEventListener to set up VPD context. I found couple postings in this forum talked about using ConnectionPolicy to pass in the information. Does anyone could give me a code sample about how to pass a parameter (ex. user ID) into a ConnectionPolicy? I am using JPA, so I didn't see a clear way for me to access ConnectionPolicy. Thanks!

I used the following solution and it worked for me
((EntityManagerImpl)em.getDelegate()).getServerSession().getDefaultConnectionPolicy().setProperty("USER_ID", userId);
Then in SessionEventListener, I could use clientSession to obtain "USER_ID" from connection policy.

How to pass arguments into a Captivate project

Hello,
   We use dotNetNuke (DNN) as our Content Management System. We are using tokens in DNN to personalize the screens. We have access to the uses first name and email. I would like to pass this information into a Captivate project. I have seen references in my research to using Javascript to invoke the Captivate project, but I have not found any samples of the source code, nor examples of how to use the passed values in the Captivate presentation. Can someone validate that this functionality exists for Captivate 8 and perhaps point me to a few examples?
Thanks,
Peter

Sorry. I think I was a bit too vague in my answer.
And I don't know about how you are getting your token value, but that part is up to you.
Just make sure to put it in place of where I wrote "whateveryourtokenvalueiscalled".
1.
create a variable in cp to hold your value. (e.g. holdName)
2.
Add this inside the <head></head> tags of your page (after you export it):
<script>
     function = getMyValues () {
          if(window.cpAPIInterface)
               //assign your token value to the cp variable you created in the project
               window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("holdName",whateveryourtokenvalueiscalled);
</script>
3.
Back in your cp project, call to the function at some point.
For example, on page 2, add to the page's action
On Enter:
     Execute Javascript
Then in the script window, type this to start up the function:
getMyValues();
I hope that makes sense. I'm not really great at explaining scripting unfortunately.

How to pass argument in manifest file

Hi,
I want to pass argument to main class in jar. Is there any option in manifest file.

Hmm..
Seems that my sentence above isn't so correct.
It possible to add custom attribute: value pairs into manifest file and
read it later from Java class.
Here is code sample:
public class ManifestTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            java.util.jar.JarFile jar = new java.util.jar.JarFile(System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
            for (java.util.Iterator it = jar.getManifest().getMainAttributes().keySet().iterator();it.hasNext();) {
                Object curKey = it.next();
                System.out.println("key: " + curKey + ", value: " + jar.getManifest().getMainAttributes().get(curKey));
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            System.out.println("exception occured: " + t);
}
