Command line arguments to start spark

Can we use an argument to start spark so that

a) we can pass the username and password to login

b) we can start a chat window with a specific user

Hi Ollyando,

At the moment you cannot, but that is a great idea. I’'ll update the framework so your own plugin can take advantage of all arguments passed into the system. SPARK-8

Is there a description of the command line arguments now available in Spark 1.0.1?

So I used the exact names as listed.

  1. username

  2. password

  3. server

  4. start_chat_jid

  5. start_chat_muc

To make this easier to handle in a client side way, I have it where the app takes a HttpParam style of argument.

So…

Spark.exe username=foo&password=test&server=jivesoftware.com&start_chat_jid=test@j ivesoftware.com&start_chat_muc=test@conference.jivesoftware.com

This way, you can specify one, two or all, or none :). This has been tested and is good to go for the 1.0.1 release.

I have tried using the command line arguements, and I can’'t seem to get them to work.

I open a command prompt and type:

Spark.exe username=user&password=pwd&server=foo.bar

I get: ‘‘password’’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ‘‘server’’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

But if I just do Spark.exe username=user

Spark starts with the username textbox filled with “user”, as it should.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Nevermind, the arguments work when creating a shortcut and in the registry, which is all that I am interested in. Thanks.
