The toolkit provides a simple interface for invoking commands from the command line.

The class com.Endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.Controller exposes a main method that can be executed from the command line.

This method can be used to invoke a method on any object defined in the application configuration document. The Controller's usage information describes the command line arguments.

USAGE:
java Controller [options] --app-config <app config> <object> <method> [args]

The controller will invoke a method on an object defined in the app
configuration document. Method return values are not captured and
only String arguments may be passed as method parameters. The controller
will typically be used to run scripts, components or utilities. More
complex invocations should usually be wrapped in a BeanShell script.

By default, the controller will compare provisioning in the app config
document to the provisioning in the EAC. If any definition changes are
found, elements are re-provisioned.

  Available options:
    --help
        Displays this usage information. If app config
        document and object name specified, available
        methods will be displayed.
    --update-definition
        Updates application provisioning without invoking
        any action. Any specified object, method and args
        will be ignored.
    --skip-definition
        Skips the default provisioning check, invoking the
        requested action with the app definition currently
        provisioned in the EAC.
    --remove-app
        Removes the application from the EAC.
        WARNING: Any active components will be stopped.
    --print-status
        Displays the status of application components.
    --config-override <override props file>
        Name of an app configuration override properties
        file to read from the classpath. Multiple override
        files may be specified.

  <app config>
      Name of the app configuration document to read
      from the classpath. Multiple documents may be specified.
  <object>
      ID of object defined in app config document.
  <method>
      Method to invoke on the specified object. Default: run.
  [args]
      Arguments to pass to the specified method. Only String
      arguments are allowed. Methods requiring other
      argument types may be wrapped in BeanShell script.
