Hi all,
I would love to be able to provide a Web-Based CLI. Usually, this sort of thing
works by forwarding stdin, stdout and stderr to a remote client. I’m working on
building a Web CLI for IoTDB, which I could integrate into a browser
application.
I could do this by globally redirecting System.stdout … but in that case I’d be
forwarding also Log output (if that’s logged to STDOUT) … so I would love to
refactor the CLI to allow passing in explicit streams for all of these and to
simply have the “main” method initialize these:
public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException,
IOException {
InputStream in = System.in;
PrintStream out = System.out;
PrintStream err = System.err;
mainInternal(args, in, out, err);
}
public static void mainInternal(String[] args, InputStream in, PrintStream out,
PrintStream err) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException {
In that case I could call mainInternal (or whatever we name it) and pass in
dedicated streams, which I redirect to the browser.
In that case I we would need to refactor all of the usages of System.out,
System.in etc to use these passed along streams instead.
What do you folks think?
Chris
