Running standalone Groovy scripts

总结：

用java运行groovy的两种方式：

1）只运行groovy脚本：

java -jar groovy-all.jar hello.groovy

2) groovy用到了java的jar包

java -cp groovy-all.jar;mylib.jar groovy.ui.GroovyMain hello.groovy

Running standalone Groovy scripts

As I mentioned in my post Learning Groovy, I am writing Groovy scripts to automate some simple tasks. Now I want to share the scripts with others. I did not want them to install Groovy just to run the scripts. I had the groovy-all-1.8.0.jar, so I typed the following in the command prompt:

1 2	C:\temp >java -jar groovy-all-1.8.0.jar Hello.groovy Hello

It worked. Simple. Now I tried to run my script that retrieved the XMLs from a database.

1 2 3 4

C:\work\FetchData >java -jar groovy-all-1.8.0.jar FetchData.groovy Caught: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver at FetchData.fetch (FetchData.groovy:51 ) at FetchData.run (FetchData.groovy:3 )

Of course I need the driver jar in the classpath. So I added the sqljdbc.jar to the classpath.

1 2 3 4

C:\work\FetchData >java -cp sqljdbc.jar -jar groovy-all-1.8.0.jar FetchData.groovy Caught: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver         at FetchData.createCSV (FetchData.groovy:51 )         at FetchData.run (FetchData.groovy:3 )

Looks like the script is run with a different classloader and the java classpath is not passed to it. I did some lazy googling but did not find the answer I was looking for. So I looked at how eclipse is doing it. Eclipse used GroovyStarter and GroovyMain to run scripts. Not knowing which to use, I just used GroovyMain:

1 2	C:\work\FetchData >java -cp lib/groovy-all-1.8.0.jar;lib/sqljdbc.jar groovy.ui.GroovyMain FetchData.groovy Fetched Data !

It worked! I just added the command in a batch file to share the script.
