Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Main entry point for the client application.

This method is called when the client is launched using the following methods:

• Launching via our "dawn" application.
• Launching via Java Web Start.
• Using the "start_solstice" command from the "mytism" script.
• Manually running the JAR file with "java -jar...".

Parameters:

args - The command line arguments.

politeMain

public static void politeMain(java.lang.String[] args)

Alternative entry point for the client application, called by the "LogWindow" GUI button.

This method is invoked when the client is launched via the "LogWindow" GUI button, which is configured in the "Server.jnlp" (Java Web Start), "server.dst" (dawn) or Windows command line server start script "server.cmd" for some older projects. It initializes the RepaintManager with a custom implementation (IRepaintManager) and then delegates to the mainStart method to perform the actual client startup.

Parameters:

args - The command line arguments.

mainStart

public static void mainStart(java.lang.String[] args)

mainStart

public static void mainStart(java.lang.String[] args,
                             java.lang.String pathClientLogTxt)

Initializes and starts the client application.

This method performs the core initialization and startup logic for the client application. It processes the command line arguments, sets up the necessary environment and launches the logon window or the main client window if correct credentials were passed and logon was successful.

Parameters:

args - The command line arguments.

_pathClientLogTxt - The path to the client log file (optional).
