[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-629) Set ApplicationContext origin property in desktop application

["Greg Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-629?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12906340#action_12906340 ] 

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-629:
----------------------------------

I can definitely see the value in this suggestion. Historically, I have handled this by creating application-specific properties for the hostname, port, etc. of the web service host. However, it would be much easier to simply rely on the origin property.

Since "origin" has a very specific definition, particularly in an applet context, I'm reluctant to allow a caller to directly override it. However, allowing someone to specify an alternate origin to a DesktopApplicationContext makes a lot of sense. 

I suggest adding a new "origin" command-line argument to DesktopApplicationContext. That will facilitate testing by allowing a caller to easily specify an alternate origin during debugging, but won't compromise the definition of "origin" in an applet context. Would that be sufficient for your needs?

> As a developer of RIA application i'd like to have possibility to set origin property of the application context of desktop application. It will help to keep one codebase for applet, web start and desktop applications (for debug purpose in my case). It will be very usefull to have a possibility to set the origin as an argument of "main" function.
