How to use variables in JNLP arguments

问题

Having the following sample jnlp:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="$$codebase" href="$$name">
    <information>
        <title>Some Example</title>
        <vendor>Some Sample Vendor</vendor>
        <homepage href="http://www.somesamplevendorhomepage.com"/>
        <description>Some Sample Description</description>
        <icon kind="splash" href="link_to_some_splash.jpg"/>
        <offline-allowed/>
    </information>
    <security>
        <all-permissions/>
    </security>
    <update check="always" policy="always"/> 
    <application-desc main-class="com.some.sample.Main">
        <argument>--URL=SAMPLE_DB_NAME=http://localhost:<db_port>/webapplication/creds/auth</argument>
        <argument>--UserTimeout=350</argument> 
    </application-desc>
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.7+" />
        <jar href="com.some.sample_1.0.0.jar"/>
        .
        .
        .
    </resources>
</jnlp>

(please ignore formatting or other inconsistencies - the only part that matters is the argument part)

Having the variable db_port within the argument tag, is there a way to pass a value to this variable when executing the jnlp with javaws?

For example: javaws /path/to/sample.jnlp 31022

---

EDIT:

JNLP downloads the JARs to the cache folder located (on Windows) under AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache. Is there a way to use the download JARs (my app has multiple JAR files) in order to have a way to execute the app providing the argument directly to the downloaded JAR?

For example:

jar -jar app.jar --URL=SAMPLE_DB_NAME=http://localhost:<db_port>/webapplication/creds/auth

---

PS: I understand that the files that are stored in the cache folder have a computed generated name and they are without the .jar extension. However from the Java Control Panel GUI or from CMD/PS with "javaws -viewer" I was able to determine the file used as jnlp and launch it. I was wondering if there is a way to use some of the JARs to launch the app or maybe create a "parent" one in order to be able to pass arguments to it.

回答1:

The documentation seems to be intentionally lacking on this topic, but the documentation suggests the preferred method to pass command line parameters to the javaws executable is through ‑userConfig flag.

e.g.

javaws /path/to/sample.jnlp -userConfig port 31022

The documentation doesn't provide examples for this. I even searched GitHub for javaws userConfig and only got a handful of results, so this seems to be a very rarely used feature.

Since your question specifically asks about a <port> variable contained within another variable, that is not something directly supported. You would instead need to find a way to wildcard or paramaterize the <port> using an additional variable and some search/replace inside the main class, assuming you have access to the source. If you don't have access to the source, you will be stuck writing the JNLP by hand, which can have additional work required if it's a signed file.
