Passing initial running parameter problem

[Nonsun]

Hi,

I met some problems in passing some initial running parameters. It seems that only lower-cased characters are allowed in parameter's name if the parameter is to be passed from command line.

For the following testing config (named as CONFIG#1):
<config>
<exit condition='${!sys.isVariableDefined("foo")}' message="Variable is not provided!" />
<file action="write" path="C:\TEMP\test.txt">
<template>${foo}</template>
</file>
</config>

Then the following command line (named as CMDLINE#1) from a batch file (in Windows command prompt) works:
@"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe" -jar webharvest_all_1.jar config=test2.xml #foo=zed

Still, this command line (named as CMDLINE#2) works to with CONFIG#1:
@"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe" -jar webharvest_all_1.jar config=test2.xml #FOO=zed

However, if we change the parameter's name into "FOO" in config (named as CONFIG#2):
<config>
<exit condition='${!sys.isVariableDefined("FOO")}' message="Variable is not provided!" />
<file action="write" path="C:\TEMP\test.txt">
<template>${FOO}</template>
</file>
</config>

It reports variable not provided even launching by CMDLINE#2.

In further test, testing results can be concluded as:

Name in Name in Test result
config command line
(XML file) (batch file)

---

foo foo OK (of course)
foo FOO OK (strange but acceptable)
foo Foo/fOO OK (as above)
Foo foo/FOO/Foo/fOO NOK (exits and reports variable not provided)
FOO foo/FOO/Foo/fOO NOK (exits and reports variable not provided)

Testing environment (reported by "dxdiag" and "java -version")
- Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300)
- Language: Chinese (Regional Setting: Chinese)
- Java version:
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Conclusion:
It seems that the initial running parameter's name is converted into lowercase (at least in my environment). Fortunately, the underscore works in naming a parameter. I can use "linux_naming_style" instead of "windowsNameingStyle". ;-)

Anyway, Web Harest is right the web data extraction tool I am looking for and I am looking forward to the further release.

Thanks for the report.
This was a small bug in CommandLine class.
It is fixed and pushed to Subversion at SourceForge.

Fix will be included in the next relases.

Best, Vladimir.
