IzPack: get user input then process it in the processpanle

Question

H,

I need to get a user input during installation then use it as an argument for an application which is executed in the processPanle. How can I get the variable which contains the user input in the processPanel?

Answer 1

You can reference the variable using ${} syntax like shown in the following example.

userInputSpec.xml (snippet):

<field type="rule" variable="tomcat_http_port">
  <spec txt="HTTP-Port:" id="panel0.field2.label" set="0:80" layout="N:5:5" />
</field>

process.xml (snippet):

<job name="Launching Browser">
 <executeclass name="edu.ccdb.util.BareBonesBrowserLauncher">
   <arg>http://localhost:${tomcat_http_port}/klaros-web</arg>
 </executeclass>
</job>
