Define port forwarding with command-line arguments

[lolocohen]

What is your idea?

Currently the configuration of the port forwarding is done in a properties file, with entries of type forwarder4j.service.<local_port> = <host>:<port>

It would be nice to be able to also define entries through command line arguments, for instance:

java -cp ... org.forwarder4j.Forwarder <local_port1>=<host1>:<port1> ... <local_portN>=<hostN>:<portN>

Entries defined via command line arguments and in the ocnfig file would all be used, with those in the command line taking precedence in case of duplicate local port entries.

Incorrectly formatted entries would be discarded and a warning logged.

What are the expected benefits and drawbacks?

This will make scripting the tool much easier, and allow easier integration in automated processes.

Are you foreseeing any hurtles or drawbacks?

No
