Hey all, I’ve been prototyping out the ABAC CLI. The design of it is to use sub commands for abac. So something like the following: bin/sentryShell -t abac policies add --attribute=pii --role=manager bin/sentryShell -t abac policies list —role=manager bin/sentryShell -t abac attributes list
The Commons-cli doesn’t have support for sub commands in the 1.x line, it was introduced in 2.x that was never released. JCommander supports subcommands so I can nest the add/list/remove/update for policies in 1 object and separate the options flags out into their respective subcommands. If I were to use the commons-cli, I’d have to have each sub command be it’s own object and deal with parsing the command line in bin/sentryShell to forward it to the right java command. Overall, commons-cli makes implementation much more difficult. Does anyone object to me using JCommander for these new commands?
