InDesign server CS 5.5 - app.scriptArgs.get doesn't work in jsx script or simpleclient problem

hxkris-dev Jan 24, 2012 5:38 AM

Hello

I'm working with Adobe InDesing Server CS 5.5 and having problem that *.jsx script is not able to read input parameters passwd from sampleclient.exe or SOAP (same story in both cases)

I run following command:

sampleclient.exe -host localhost:8080 "c:\CreateJPEG.jsx" param1="1"

also

sampleclient.exe -host localhost:8080 "c:\CreateJPEG.jsx" param1=1

and even

sampleclient.exe -host localhost:8080 "c:\CreateJPEG.jsx" "param1=1"

app.scriptArgs.get("param1") is always FALSE (see script body below).

Please help, I couldn't find an answer anywhere. All documents stats that this should work in a way I described, but it doesn't. Script is performed but param1 is not set.

Here is the script:

#target InDesignServer

app.scriptPreferences.version = 7.0;

main();

function main()

{

var eRet;

if (app.scriptArgs.get("param1"))

{

var sXMLFilePath = "C:\\CreateJPEG.xml";

var eRet = app.createJpeg (sXMLFilePath);

}

Hi,

Try this: pass the parameter to the main function:

var param1 = app.scriptArgs.get("param1");

main(param1);

function main(param)
{
if(param)
{
...
}
}

Hi,
First try: if(app.scriptArgs.isDefined('param1'));

Second, use: app.scriptArgs.getValue('param1') to get the Value of the param

I am having the same issue. I am pssing thru SOAP call through
     sampleclient.java -host localhost:12345 "c:\myJSXScript.jsx" myXml="myXmlLocation"

JSX:
function main() {
    try {
        var myInDesignXml;
        app.consoleout("isDefined:=" +app.scriptArgs.isDefined("myXml"));
        if (app.scriptArgs.isDefined("myXml")) {
          myInDesignXml = app.scriptArgs.getValue("myXml")
        }
        app.consoleout("myXml:=" + myXml);
        }
    } catch (e) {
        app.consoleout('General Exception');
    }
    return result;
}
main();

Output:
isDefined:=false

I should get the text that we have assigned to myXml param.

Please Help on this.

Regards,
JK

I don't see any inherent problem with the jsx.
I suggest you debug the code with ExtendScript Toolkit with your InDesign server instance selected in the dropdown of the toolkit.
This would allow you to find the source of error.
