Improve usability of jboss-admin.sh for scripting environments -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-846 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-846 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: CLI Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Beta3 Environment: sh based environments Reporter: Scott Stark Assignee: Scott Stark Fix For: 7.0.0.CR1 I want to be able to find out what deployments exist in a server in a scripting environment. There are a couple of issues in the jboss-admin.sh that prevent this from being done. The first is the dump of the environment header: ========================================================================= JBoss Admin Command-line Interface JBOSS_HOME: /home/git/JBossAS/jboss-as/build/target/jboss-7.0.0.Beta4-SNAPSHOT JAVA: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java JAVA_OPTS: ========================================================================= 1. I would like to add a -q/--quiet option that disables the output of this header. It would also suppress the "Connected..." and "Closed..." msgs as all I want to see is the output of the command that is being executed to simplify the script's parsing of the returned information. 2. The second is the handling of arguments with strings. The way the launch of the org.jboss.as.cli module is done, arguments to the jboss-admin.sh with quotes around spaces are incorrectly interpretted as multiple arguments. For example, trying to list the deployments using: [130](ironmaiden:bin) > ./jboss-admin.sh --connect command='ls deployment' Connected to standalone controller at localhost:9999 extension path subsystem deployment management-interfaces management interface socket-binding-group Closed connection to localhost:9999 produced just the result of an "ls" command without any arguments. The reason is that the CommandLineMain.main saw 3 arguments instead of 2: {"--connect", "command=ls", "deployment"}. The "$@" list of arguments to the shell script needs to be hard quoted so that the eval command properly expands the arguments. With this, the previous command now produces the expected listing of the deployment node: [131](ironmaiden:bin) > ./jboss-admin.sh --connect command='ls deployment' Connected to standalone controller at localhost:9999 ROOT.war Closed connection to localhost:9999 In these examples I have not yet suppressed the "Connected..." and "Closed..." msgs coming from the CommandLineMain class. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
