[x3d-public] CommandLine properties

[John Carlson]

Don, you have 2 ways of handling arguments. One for CommandLine , run(), and one for X3DObject, handleArguments().

Most of the answer:

Yes the CommandLine approach can take property files as a switch.

http://www.web3d.org/specifications/java/X3DJSAIL.html#CommandLine

java -classpath someLocalPath/X3DJSAIL.3.3.full.jar
      [sourceModel.x3d | -help | -page | -resources | -tooltips]
      [-tofile [resultFile.*]] [-properties [propertiesFile]] [-validate]
      [sourceModel.exi -fromEXI] [sourceModel.gz -fromGZIP] [sourceModel.zip -fromZIP]
      [-toX3D | -toXML | -toClassicVrml | -toJSON | -toVRML97 | -toX3DOM | -toX_ITE | -toGZIP | -toZIP]

Example and template properties are linked in the X3DJSAIL page, as are a variety of methods if using code directly (rather than CommandLine):

	http://www.web3d.org/specifications/java/X3DJSAIL.properties.template

	http://www.web3d.org/specifications/java/examples/X3DJSAIL.properties

=========================================================
# X3DJSAIL.properties example

# Author TODO edit and save X3DJSAIL.properties.template as X3DJSAIL.properties
# in project-invocation directory of interest

deleteIntermediateFiles=true
  indentIncrement=2
#indentCharacter allowed values are SPACE (default) and TAB
  indentCharacter=SPACE

overwriteExistingFiles=true
showDefaultAttributes=false
stripTrailingZeroes=true
validationExceptionAllowed=false

#EXI_ENGINE allowed values are EXIFICIENT (default) and OPENEXI
  EXI_ENGINE=EXIFICIENT

#XSLT_ENGINE allowed values are SAXON (default) and NATIVE_JAVA
  XSLT_ENGINE=SAXON
=========================================================

See ant build.xml <target name="test.X3DJSAIL"> in the stylesheets/ parent directory for example invocation.  Excerpt:

<echo message="==========================================="/>
<echo message="org.web3d.x3d.jsail.CommandLine -properties ${java.examples.dir}/X3DJSAIL.properties"/>
<java classname="org.web3d.x3d.jsail.CommandLine" classpath="${saxon.dir}/${saxon.jar};${java.jars.dir}/${jsai.full.archive.jar.name};." fork="${fork}">
	<arg value="-properties"/>
	<arg value="${java.examples.dir}/X3DJSAIL.properties"/>
</java>
<echo message="==========================================="/>

You should not have to worry about containerField.  If you are, you probably are using the wrong method.  If you find a case that still needs it, then I need to worry about making that case go away.

I think the examples and outputs are OK... please vector me in further as needed (there are a lot of materials and multiple prototype examples for testing).

I haven't worked with test.nashorn much at all yet, great that you are pursuing that!

Thanks for your efforts John.

I tried moving a X3DJSAIL.properties file to that folder, but changing the stylesheet engine property, there’s no difference in output.
