[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2676) CLI parameter prompting

[Robert Reimann (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2676?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12655405#comment-12655405 ] 

Robert Reimann commented on AS7-2676:
-------------------------------------

It would be nice if this mechanism could also support non interactive script execution. If the required parameters are provided by properties files or system properties (analogue to the properties support in the domain.sh/standalone.sh scripts) the prompting could be omitted.

In the current domain.sh/standalone.sh scripts ${myParam} is used for string interpolation. Defaults are expressed as ${myParam:myDefault}
 
An analogue/consistent properties support for the CLI could look like this example:
{code}
./jboss-admin.sh --connect --file=some/location/my-script.cli --properties=/some/location/environment.properties
{code}
 
environment.properties
{code}
db_url=jdbc:h2:mem:test
db_user=sa
db_password=sa
{code}
 
my-script.cli
{code}
/subsystem=datasources/data-source=h2:add(connection-url="${db_url}",driver-name=h2,enabled=true, \
  jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS",pool-name="H2DS",user-name="${db_user}",password="${db_password}")
{code}

> It could be handy if there was some mechanism for prompting for values (with included default value). That way one could have a master script that could be run for a new AS and you would be prompted for changing parameters (e.g. datsource jdbc urls, transaction timeouts etc)
