Sending Command Line Arguments to Jar Executable

Hi All
I wish to send Command Line Arguments to Jar Executable.
i.e. before I Jar'd my program, I would do the following
public class CmdLnArgmntExp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("d");
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
System.out.println(args);
Running the program in Console.
Java CmdLnArgmntExp arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4Output:
arg1
arg2
arg3
arg4
How would I do this to a Jar executable, hope that made sense
Thanks

java -jar executable-jar-file-containing-class-CmdLnArgmntExp.jar arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4

Can I pass command line arguments to LV6 executables?

Hi,
in Document ID: 1CNFGHFI I read that
"LabVIEW 5.x executables cannot take command line arguments. (...) Support for command line arguments may be available in the next major release of LabVIEW."
Is that so in LV6? It would be a good reason to update because I'd terribly need it.
Cheers,
Daniel

I am unable to find the original one that Dennis posted. The following is the same, but for LabVIEW 6:

Executing another program with command line arguments

I am very new to Java, so bare with me.
I have written an encryption/decryption program in C (that accepts command line arguments of the key, mode (encrypt/decrypt), and file), and I have written a GUI for it in Java. It accepts the filename (and has a button which opens the "File/Open" dialog), key, and mode, and has a button to Start the process of the encryption. I'd like for that "Start" button to call my encryption program in C (eep.exe) with the command line arguments of the file, key, and mode. This is what I have written so far :
Start = new JButton("Start");
Start.setBounds(150, 180, 90, 25);
Start.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
Desktop.open(new File("C:\\eep.exe" + " " + filename + " " + mode + " " + key));
However, I get the error "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method open(File) from the type Desktop" on the Desktop.open command.
What should I do? Is Desktop.Open the right way to go about this? If not, what is the right way to go about it?
Thanks in advance.

That has helped greatly, but I cannot pass command line arguments to it.
Using :
try {
    Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\eep.exe"));
catch (Exception e) {
   System.out.println("Error executing.");
}I can execute eep.exe, but when I try to pass command line arguments to it, such as
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\eep.exe" + " " + filename));it fails, get caught and prints "Error Executing."
I have also tried loading the program, as well as some command line arguments into an array of strings :
String[] cmdArray = {"C:\\eep.exe", filename};
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(cmdArray));But it gives me the error "The constructor File(String[]) is undefined" on the
new File (cmdArray)part of the command.

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.

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.

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.

Prevent Startup Form from Loading using Command Line Arguments

Hi there
I'm developing a VB.NET windows forms application in VS2013.
The application will have 2 ways of being executed, one being by the user manually and the other being automated by the task scheduler.
When executed by the task scheduler, command line arguments will be used so that the application is aware that it is being run automatically and not by a user.
My problem is that I want the startup form to load when run by a user but I don't want it to load when it is run automatically, I just want to execute code.
Is it possible to prevent the startup form from loading by using the commandline arguments from the MyApplication_Startup event?
Cheers

Hi Aureuz,
>>Is it possible to prevent the startup form from loading by using the commandline arguments from the MyApplication_Startup event
It is impossible to accomplish it in the MyApplication_Startup event, we can use Form.Shown event:
#Form.Shown Event
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.shown(v=vs.110).aspx
If we start a form by using the commandline arguments, the count of CommandLineArgs will be above one, if so, use Me.Hide() method to hide this form.
Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Shown
Dim args As String() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If args.Count > 1 Then
Me.Hide()
Else
Me.Show()
End If
End Sub
You can also uncheck "Enable application framework" on the project properties application tab and select your startup object to a module object:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim args As String() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If args.Count > 1 Then
'Run your background code
Else
Dim f As New Form1
f.ShowDialog()
End If
End Sub
End Module

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...

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?

ERROR: -1639 INVALID COMMAND LINE ARGUMENT

Trying to install software for Shuffle that Santa brought and get this error messsage...
"Error: -1639 invalid command line argument. Consult the windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help."
Install stops at this point.
SOMEONE HELP... My kid is chomping at the bit !
Thanks.

Ok I'll do some more searching but I found something in the community forums.
APPSearch can not return this data into a property, so instead, for some unspeakable reason, returns a value of Null, follwed by another Null. This means that the property is created, and populated with two null characters. Bad news if the property also happens to be a PUBLIC property. All public properties are passed as part of the command line sent in a stream to the background installer process by the Execute Action. Since this stream now contains a double null value in a property, the stream is prematurely terminated. This creates an invalid command line, and thus the 1639 error.
This user solved it by using the MSi Cleanup installer util.
EDIT: A little more info...
This problem is almost impossible to detect through the MSI log files since our friends at Microsoft chose to limit the length of any line in the log. It is impossible to get a dump of the full command line that generates this error.
EDIT2:Note that error 1639 only ocurrs when the install package is run from removable media. When the package is run from local storage, the behavior is far more obtuse. The background install process, failing to receive a complete command line, is forced to run as if there had been no UI session, which in turn causes the APPSearch action to run again as if the install was running in silent mode. This causes re-evaluation of all properties a second time, destroying the feature selections made in the UI session, and also forcing the install to run under user credentials instead of elevated, even though AdminUser, ALLUSERS and Privleged properties are set. This is a very serious error that causes total failure of the installation.

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">

Changing the override file via command line arguments

Is there a way to change name of the file Coherence uses to override coherence-config.xml via a command line argument? I'd like to specify different override filenames in different environments.

I get the message that:
2006-02-13 16:53:27.699 Tangosol Coherence 3.0.1/317 <D5> (thread=main, member=n/a): Optional configuration file "/home/noah/tools/tangosol-config/tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml" is not specified
I specified the following as the startup:
java -Dtangosol.coherence.override=/home/noah/tools/tangosol-config/tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml -Dtangosol.coherence.log.level=5 -classpath /home/ncohen/tools/tangosol-config:/home/noah/tools/tangosol/lib/coherence.jar com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory
Where the tangosol-config directory contains my override file tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml
If I change the name of the override file solely in the cmd prompt, it doesn't find any of them. It just gives me the optional configuration file ..... is not specified. How does one go about fixing this? Thx.

How to pass a command line argument to the sequence?

Hi,
My GUI is written in VB.NET. I can read the command line argument in the GUI, using: Me.AxApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments(). But I don't know how to pass it on to my sequence file which the GUI invokes. How do I read the command line argument from the sequence file?
My purpose, is to have the same basic sequence execute different subsequences depending on starting conditions...
I am using TestStand 3.0 with a VB.NET GUI, on Windows XP.
I'd appreciate any help on the subject.
Alan

Hi Alan,
One obvious way would be to add parameter(s) to the MainSequence and then modify the process model sequence file to use the new parameter(s) in the step "MainSequence Callback" in either Single Pass or Test UUTs but I wouldn't recommend this approach.
The sequence file to be run via the entry point can be found at "RunState.ProcessModelClient" and the lookup string to the MainSequence would be "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.Seq["MainSequence"] or .Seq[0] .
Therefore you could quite easy use the SetVal method to setup a Local variable in the MainSequence of your Sequence File to receive the command line string.
Also you could do this without altering the Process Model Sequence File by using the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup in your Sequence File.
As an example.
You have a string in your Locals of MainSequence called CmdLineStr.
If you add the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup to your SequenceFile, then add an ActiveX Automation Adapter step which is setup for a PropertyObject and the reference is RunState.Caller.RunState.ProcessModel.Data.Seq[0].Locals.CmdLineStr.
There is an extra RunState.Caller to the lookup string, that's because I am doing the work in a SubSequence of Entry Point Sequence.
The method to use is SetValString and the parameters of the PropertyObject will be
lookupString = ""
options = 0 or 1
newValue = where evey you have stored you command line string.
Now when you run your sequence file you will find that the Locals.CmdLineStr will contain your parameter string.
Hope this is of help to you.

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);
