@Extensible @ThreadSafety(level=INTERFACE_NOT_THREADSAFE) public abstract class CommandLineTool extends java.lang.Object
This class provides a framework for developing command-line tools that use the argument parser provided as part of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. This tool adds a "-H" or "--help" option, which can be used to display usage information for the program, and may also add a "-V" or "--version" option, which can display the tool version.
Subclasses should include their ownmain
method that creates an instance of aCommandLineTool
and should invoke therunTool(java.lang.String...)
method with the provided arguments. For example:public class ExampleCommandLineTool extends CommandLineTool { public static void main(String[] args) { ExampleCommandLineTool tool = new ExampleCommandLineTool(); ResultCode resultCode = tool.runTool(args); if (resultCode != ResultCode.SUCCESS) { System.exit(resultCode.intValue()); } } public ExampleCommandLineTool() { super(System.out, System.err); } // The rest of the tool implementation goes here. ... }
.
Note that in general, methods in this class are not threadsafe. However, theout(Object...)
anderr(Object...)
methods may be invoked concurrently by any number of threads.

This method is not needed for tools that are not expected to be part of the Ping Identity server products suite. Further, this value may be overridden by settings in the server's tool-invocation-logging.properties file.
This method should generally returntrue
for tools that may alter the server configuration, data, or other state information, andfalse
for tools that do not make any changes.- Returns:
true
if Ping Identity server products should include messages about the launch and completion of this tool in tool invocation log files by default, orfalse
if not.

enableSSLDebuggingArgument
- The argument to add to the set of arguments that may be used to enable JVM SSL/TLS debugging.
-
addToolArguments
public abstract void addToolArguments(@NotNull ArgumentParser parser) throws ArgumentException

parser
- The argument parser to which the arguments are to be added.- Throws:
ArgumentException
- If a problem occurs while adding any of the tool-specific arguments to the provided argument parser.
-
doExtendedArgumentValidation
public void doExtendedArgumentValidation() throws ArgumentException
Performs any necessary processing that should be done to ensure that the provided set of command-line arguments were valid. This method will be called after the basic argument parsing has been performed and immediately before thedoToolProcessing()
method is invoked. Note that if the tool supports interactive mode, then this method may be invoked multiple times to allow the user to interactively fix validation errors.- Throws:
ArgumentException
- If there was a problem with the command-line arguments provided to this program.
-
doToolProcessing
@NotNull public abstract ResultCode doToolProcessing()
Performs the core set of processing for this tool.- Returns:
- A result code that indicates whether the processing completed successfully.
-
registerShutdownHook
protected boolean registerShutdownHook()
Indicates whether this tool should register a shutdown hook with the JVM. Shutdown hooks allow for a best-effort attempt to perform a specified set of processing when the JVM is shutting down under various conditions, including:- When all non-daemon threads have stopped running (i.e., the tool has completed processing).
- When
System.exit()
orRuntime.exit()
is called. - When the JVM receives an external kill signal (e.g., via the use of the kill tool or interrupting the JVM with Ctrl+C).
System.halt()
orRuntime.halt()
methods).
If this method is overridden to returntrue
, then thedoShutdownHookProcessing(ResultCode)
method should also be overridden to contain the logic that will be invoked when the JVM is shutting down in a manner that calls shutdown hooks.- Returns:
true
if this tool should register a shutdown hook, orfalse
if not.
-
doShutdownHookProcessing
protected void doShutdownHookProcessing(@Nullable ResultCode resultCode)
Performs any processing that may be needed when the JVM is shutting down, whether because tool processing has completed or because it has been interrupted (e.g., by a kill or break signal).
Note that because shutdown hooks run at a delicate time in the life of the JVM, they should complete quickly and minimize access to external resources. See the documentation for thejava.lang.Runtime.addShutdownHook
method for recommendations and restrictions about writing shutdown hooks.- Parameters:
resultCode
- The result code returned by the tool. It may benull
if the tool was interrupted before it completed processing.
