user defined application parameters

[ghosttie]

I can't get user defined application parameters to work. My command line is:

jade.exe server=singleUser app=TestApp schema=TestSchema path=f:\something\system ini=f:\something\system\jade.ini endJade "something something"

TestApp has an initialize method of:

Code: Select all

init(pSA_Args : HugeStringArray); vars begin if pSA_Args = null then app.msgBox("pSA_Args is null", "Test", 0); else app.msgBox(pSA_Args.display, "Test", 0); endif; end;

pSA_Args is always null.

It doesn't work thin client either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe Jade is being picky about the declaration of the parameter of the intialisation method?
In the manual (RuntimeApps.pdf) it states:

"An exception is raised if the initialize method does not have only one parameter of type Object".

At least see if you can reproduce the example there, on page 23, as a starting point.

We use the process.getCommandLine to get the full command line and then process it for the parameters e.g.

Code: Select all

sCommandLine := process.getCommandLine(); iPos := sCommandLine.toUpper.pos( " ENDJADE ", 1 ); if iPos = 0 then return 0; else iPos := iPos + 9; // Length of ENDJADE iLength := sCommandLine.length; if iPos < iLength then while iPos > 0 do psaParameters.add( sCommandLine.getNextCommandLineParameter( iPos ) ); iParameterCount := iParameterCount + 1; endwhile; endif; return iParameterCount; endif;

Where the getNextCommandLineParameter method looks for the space delimetered parameters

I've only ever used the option where the parameters are automatically built into a HugeStringArray when running a non-GUI application with jadclient.exe.
(I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that this "automatic" option only works when using jadclient.exe to launch a non-GUI application?!?)

For jade.exe applications, I always use the getCommandLine option and then parse it manually, as already mentioned by Torrie.

Thanks guys, process.getCommandLine does the trick.

The documentation seems to imply that it'll work with jade.exe but I guess it only works with jadclient. I've put in a contact asking whether it's a documentation error or a bug.

the method needs this parameter.

userMethod(initializeParameter : Object);

the object will be a HugeStringArray.
