Class SimpleCommandLinePropertySource
CommandLinePropertySource
implementation backed by a simple String array.
Purpose
This CommandLinePropertySource
implementation aims to provide the simplest
possible approach to parsing command line arguments. As with all
CommandLinePropertySource
implementations, command line arguments are broken into two
distinct groups: option arguments and non-option arguments, as
described below (some sections copied from Javadoc for
SimpleCommandLineArgsParser
):
Working with option arguments
Option arguments must adhere to the exact syntax:
--optName[=optValue]
That is, options must be prefixed with "--
" and may or may not
specify a value. If a value is specified, the name and value must be separated
without spaces by an equals sign ("="). The value may optionally be
an empty string.
Valid examples of option arguments
--foo --foo= --foo="" --foo=bar --foo="bar then baz" --foo=bar,baz,biz
Invalid examples of option arguments
-foo --foo bar --foo = bar --foo=bar --foo=baz --foo=biz
Working with non-option arguments
Any and all arguments specified at the command line without the "--
"
option prefix will be considered as "non-option arguments" and made available
through the CommandLineArgs.getNonOptionArgs()
method.
Typical usage
public static void main(String[] args) { PropertySource<?> ps = new SimpleCommandLinePropertySource(args); // ... }See
CommandLinePropertySource
for complete general usage examples.
Beyond the basics
When more fully-featured command line parsing is necessary, consider
implementing your own CommandLinePropertySource
against the command line
parsing library of your choice.

getOptionValues
Description copied from class:CommandLinePropertySource
Return the collection of values associated with the command line option having the given name.- if the option is present and has no argument (e.g.: "--foo"), return an empty
collection (

) - if the option is present and has a single value (e.g. "--foo=bar"), return a
collection having one element (
["bar"]
) - if the option is present and the underlying command line parsing library
supports multiple arguments (e.g. "--foo=bar --foo=baz"), return a collection
having elements for each value (
["bar", "baz"]
) - if the option is not present, return
null
