Can I declare variable in CLI script?

[spbhosale]

Hi,

I am using JBoss AS 7.1.1 Final. In which I have created a CLI script file to update my standalone-full.xml. Now I want to use variables in my CLI script, is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

We use --properties=<yourproperty.properties> argument when starting the CLI.

For example:

./jboss-cli.sh -c --file=myscript.cli --properties=mysettings.properties

mysettings.properties file:

db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auckland:1521:lmnop

db.user=test

db.password=secret

myscript.cli file

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:add(jndi-name=java:jboss/datasources/WebDS,connection-url=${db.url},user-name=${db.user},password=${db.password},use-java-context=true,driver-name=OracleJDBCDriver,enabled=true)

Note:

1. Test on jboss-eap-6.1
2. It does have some limitations (for example adding modules, with variables cannot be done AFAIK)

Also, if you need the power of a full language you can use any JVM scripting language.  See Advanced CLI scripting with Groovy, Rhino, Jython, etc.

My result is as:

jboss-cli.bat --connect --file=updateStandaloneFull.cli --properties=variables.properties

O/p:

Only one of '--file', '--commands' or '--command' can appear as the argument at a time.

Press any key to continue . . .

aahhh seems to be my mistake, it doesn't look like --properties flag is supported on AS-7, can you use an eap version?

I tried doing the same thing with the following command but JBoss didn't like it.

/subsystem=messaging/hornetq-server=default/jms-queue=MyQueue1/:add(entries=${var.queueName},durable=false)

Got any ideas?

Hi,

What do you mean didn't like it?

[mschwery]

When I try the following line I get an "Can't proceed with node type system-property until the node name for the previous node type has been specified" error.

/subsystem=messaging/hornetq-server=default/jms-queue=system-property=propertyname:read-attribute(name="var.queueName")/:add(entries=[system-property=propertyname:read-attribute(name="var.queueNameExport")],durable=false)

Hi,

If you connect to jboss-cli and type /subsystem= (and then tab out) do you see messaging as a completion option? If not you will need to add it first
