How to execute JMXterm with inline script using -cp?

Question

In a batch file I want to use jmxterm to access jboss mbeans. Therefore I need to include jboss-eap-6.1\bin\client\jboss-client.jar to the classpath.

So I need to call jmxterm that way to get it to work:

java -cp .;%JBOSSDIR%/bin/client/jboss-client.jar;jmxterm-1.0-alpha-4-uber.jar org.codehaus.classworlds.uberjar.boot.Bootstrapper --url service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:9999

The problem: I need to pass an argument to the MBean method I want to call. So I only see the option to pass the script inline but don't know how to do that.

I found that it should work by piping the jmxterm command to the jmxterm call. Adapted to my case (using -cp instead of -jar) it doesn't work:

echo "bean run " | java -cp .;%JBOSSDIR%/bin/client/jboss-client.jar;jmxterm-1.0-alpha-4-uber.jar org.codehaus.classworlds.uberjar.boot.Bootstrapper --url service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:9999 -n

I get the following output:

Feb 04, 2015 3:26:00 PM org.xnio.Xnio <clinit>
INFO: XNIO Version 3.0.7.GA-redhat-1
Feb 04, 2015 3:26:00 PM org.xnio.nio.NioXnio <clinit>

INFO: JBoss Remoting version 3.2.16.GA-redhat-1
Welcome to JMX terminal. Type "help" for available commands.
#IllegalArgumentException: Command "bean isn't valid, run help to see available commands

Passing the script as file works but I need to pass the script inline to pass parameters to the mbean method calls.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is what you mean with pass the script as file, but you can give all the execution information as a file in the call:

java -cp .;%JBOSSDIR%/bin/client/jboss-client.jar;jmxterm-1.0-alpha-4-uber.jar 
org.codehaus.classworlds.uberjar.boot.Bootstrapper -v silent -n < commands.txt

And then having a commands.txt as this:

open -u service:jmx:remoting-jmx://localhost:9999
run -b com.your.package:type=BeanName methodName parameter1
