[Repast-interest] parameter processing revisted...

[Rick R. <rl...@fi...>]

I'm trying to pass a parameter (or more than one...)
via the command line to process as i wish, 
and so I naively tried this

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		uchicago.src.sim.engine.SimInit init =
			new uchicago.src.sim.engine.SimInit();
		Model model = new Model();
		init.loadModel( model, null, false );
		model.setArg0( args[0] );
		model.setArg1( args[1] );
	}

Again, this is in a class defined so:

   public class Model extends SimModelImpl {

So I tried to run it thus:

  java ... uchicago.src.sim.engine.SimInit LS0.GUIModel  test1 false

and i got this complaint (since there is no file named test1):
 
  Error reading parameter file

I guess it thinks I want a standard repast parameter file
to be that first parameter.
I was hoping this line on the simInit doc page:

    *   -b indicates that this is a batch model and that full name of a 
   parameter file will follow the fully qualified model name.

would mean that if i didn't include the -b, it wouldn't
expect a paramter file to follow the model name.
(But i see a bit lower on that same page that even in gui
mode it thinks that will be a parameter file...)

So....

Is there a simple way for me to get around that, so i can
pass one (or more) parameters into my main Model methods
and have them do with them as they wish?

If there currently is no way to do that, it would be a nice
feature to have, i think.  
Maybe add another optional flag on the run command?

thanks,

- r
