GUI Composer: Can I pass some startup parameters to my webapp?

Patrick Dussud

I would like to pass some parameters on the command line to invoke the launcher and process them in my appInitScript.js For example, I would like to be able to pass on the command line a parameter that would direct the program not to be flashed on the target. Is this possible? Alternatively, when appInitScript.js is running, can I pop up a dialog box? how? Thanks, Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

You can pass in arguments to the JVM in the command line by entering "-vmargs -DmyVar=doIt" after the launcher executable.

In the appInitScript.js you will need to import the java.lang package.
ie. "importPackage(Packages.java.lang)"

Than in the initTarget function body, you can get the argument with this snippet of code:
var myVar = System.getProperty("myVar");
if (myVar == "doIt") {
// load program
}

Regards,
Patrick

Thank you very much, it works if I pass these parameters to GUIComposer.exe but not if I pass them to launcher.exe, do they need to be passed specially to launcher.exe? Thanks, Patrick.

I think there is a a bug in the launcher.exe, it doesn't accept additional vmargs from the command line. I'll file an enhancement for this feature.
