Re: Passing parameters during force build

You can do it in one of two ways:

1) Use the JMX interface (default is port 8000) for forcing, pausing, building with a specific target and when you enter the target in the field provided, enter other parameters you would like to use. Example:
	Instead of just entering the target "build-with-files", 
	You enter something like " -Dparameter=value -Dparameter2=value2 -verbose build-with-files", just like you would on a command line.

2) Write your own jsp interface and have a form to fill out what entries you want and when you submit it in the background, you utilize the format:
	document.getElementById('serverData').innerHTML = '<iframe src="' + 'http://' + hN + ':8000/invoke?operation=buildWithTarget&objectname=CruiseControl+Project%3Aname%3D' + pN + '&value0=build -verbose' + '&type0=java.lang.String' + '" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

	hN = Cruisecontrol Server name
	pN = Project Name
	See where I added the -verbose after the &value0=build (build is the target), you would add whatever you want instead of the -verbose as stated in the first suggestion.

	I basically replaced the build button on the main page with a javascript function that opens a separate page/windowed form that I fill out with any parameters via radio buttons, drop downs and text fields, which in turn has a submit button that utilizes the #2 above suggestion passing all the parameters to the Cruisecontrol queue.

Hope this helps.
