Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-5008:
---------------------------------------
Sorry I've been so slow looking at this.
The error handling certainly needs some rework.
AFAICT, the calling of usage() was consistent in the parsing. The way it all works
isn't very good though.
Main.parseValue() isn't outputting an error message; I think that is what you are
referring to in your last comment. That needs to be fixed.
The use of System.err in HostController Main is an issue. The ProcessController consumes
the HC's syserr and pipes it to its own syserr, and the output doesn't appear on
the PC's console. Currently the usage() output from the HC shows up as log output, so
that at least gives some clue to the user that something was wrong with the command line
arguments. But the more descriptive error message doesn't appear in the console.
To decide what to do about that I need to talk to David Lloyd to try and refresh my memory
as to why the ProcessController handles its output streams the way it does. I don't
want to inadvertently break something. Intuitively, I think output to System.err from a
ManagedProcess should result in an ERROR log message in the PC's console.
Having HC's Main dump the full usage() output to the log isn't nice since it looks
bad, but I think following the error message with something like "INFO Use domain.sh
--help for information on valid command line arguments" would be good. That could
also be appended to the error messages.
As for System.exit() vs. abort(), sure, having everything go through a consistent routine
is better. The key thing is following any refactor, for any situation the exit codes that
are currently sent must still be sent.
host-controller module does parse command line args too late

Key: AS7-5008
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5008
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Domain Management
Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final, 7.2.0.Alpha1
Reporter: Bernd Eckenfels
Assignee: Brian Stansberry
Priority: Minor
Labels: as, usage
When starting the host controller module to use the -v or -h command line switches (which
are supported in the code) there will be no result. The reason for this is, that the
host-controller reads the authKey before it parses the command line for the manual invok.
Also it looks like the redirected input/output leads to the case that no usage() can be
writte anyway.
