Summary: CLI misinterprets parameter value "-something" as a
parameter
Product: Commons
Version: Nightly Builds
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P1
Component: CLI
AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: nigel_king@mlc.com.au
If a parameter value is passed that contains a hyphen as the (delimited) first
character, CLI parses this a parameter. For example using the call
java myclass -t "-something"
Results in the parser creating the invalid parameter -o (noting that it is
skipping the 's')
My code is using the Posix parser as follows
Options options = buildCommandLineOptions();
CommandLineParser parser = new PosixParser();
CommandLine commandLine = null;
try {
commandLine = parser.parse(options, args);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Invalid parameters. " + e.getMessage() + NEW_LINE);
System.exit(EXIT_CODE_ERROR);
}
This has been tested against the nightly build dated 20050503.
