Hi,
The Sun JVM does a really poor job of dealing with quotes in arguments. One
way you can get around this is to wrap your double-quoted arg in
single-quotes.
For example, in the following:
> Commandline commandLine = new Commandline();
> commandLine.setExecutable("cmdclient");
> commandLine.createArgument().setValue("-user");
> commandLine.createArgument().setValue("\"integrator\"");
replace the last line with
commandLine.createArgument().setValue("\'\"integrator\"\'");
This works for Sun JVMs on Windows. Don't know about other platforms or
JVMs.
Perhaps a better option is to fix the executable to behave a little better
as a command-line tool. Or write a wrapper script.
